Is it safe to plug guitar directly to portable (battery powered rechargeable) speaker
This is more of a technical questions but it relates to music practice, still, feel free to comment if you think it doesn’t belong here.
I bought a 6.3mm female 3.5mm male jack adapter and did the most naive/simple setup. Electro acoustic guitar->cable->adapter->portable speaker (jbl charge 3)
And it works fine, my only concern is will this damage the speaker?
Thanks in advance

No, it won't harm the speaker at all. The worst that could happen is weak and/or distorted sound, but even that doesn't mean you're damaging the speaker.
I'm surprised you said it works fine, unless the guitar has some sort of pre-amp built in to get the signal up to line level. (My basses have passive pickups which are microphone level.) If that's the case then you could just as easily plug it into your computer's line in jack and have that work too.
