EMF kickback? I guess you mean the voltage drop. Never heard of EMF
kickback. And, yes, a voltage drop to sensitive equipment can damage it.
That's why using an accessory/house battery for the equipment is the best
route to go.

solenoid blew a cap and the power supply in the unit.

EMF is very much seen in starter circuits. The starter soenoid coil
discharging induces a big voltage. The starter may also. Put an O'scope on
the voltage line and you will see lots of scary spikes.
