Is there like a double safety feature when charging?

The charger only provides a single voltage, so it can't over-charge. If somehow, something went wrong with it and its voltage mysteriously changed to a higher one, then the BMS shuts off the charging, so you won't have a problem.
The same with discharge. You have a low voltage cut-off in the controller and the BMS, so if one doesn't work, you have a second chance.
It's always best to check that these things actually work. These chargers are great for testing because you can set them to whatever you want. Did you get one?

I'm probably being overcautious Dave. I've just replaced my 11.6Ah 29E 48v dolphin pack with a 12Ah 30Q 48v one. Even though they are similar battery packs, the chargers are different. The previous one being a 54.6v 2A non fan plastic charger, and the new one being a 54.6v 2A metal cased with fan.
I'm hoping that both chargers operate in exactly the same way. Was just curious why one needs a fan and the other doesn't. I'd like to use the non fan one instead, as it's much quieter in operation.
As I say overcautious, reason why I've never gone LiPo
Thank you d8veh, but I don't know what OVP/OCP/OTP Low Power & CPS-6003 means when I checked the product description.
Please remember that I am not in your intelligent category.
MS.
OVP = Over Voltage Protection
OCP = Over Current Protection
OTP = Over Temperature Protection.
CPS-6003 is the maker's charger model number.

Thank you for that Professor flecc
Thanks for that flecc, you are a very good well known established Professor. I have always looked up to you since the time you qualified as a First Aider. That just shows you to never judge a cut by its plaster.

To that list of protections I was tempted to add:
OTTP = Over The Top Protection.
