Yessir, I do. Nearly all of the incidents I have read about involving lipo fires are due to problems charging, which cause the pack to overheat, swell, and catch fire. Why take the chance when you have one more safeguard? :)
If the cells are supposed to stay below 140F, I'm going to make sure my charger is watching the temps if it can.
In practice, my 3s 3200 packs have never even gone up 1 degree while charging, but since I have the sensor there and I don't have to set the temp every time, why not? :)
