A temp-probe used alone CANT false peak (unless you use a ligther or similar to heat the probe up ). But using a temp-probe as the only cut off method is risky... forget mounting that probe, and the pack goes BOOM...
This is true, our new dual charger allows you to specify one of four modes using the built-in temp probes, so you can OR which uses either one, or AND would can't false peak, but does require the batteries are placed on top of the charger, as it is designed for.
Temp alone is also possible, however, because of the built-in cooling fan, some well-matched packs will peak without getting very warm. This increases battery life, heat is the enemy of batteries.
