Default Re: "Battery Manager" for a Li ion Battery

You should definitely fuse it. These cells can deliver a fearsome current into a fault or short circuit, which can cause fires.

However, if you are using a proper battery controller then that should prevent overcurrent. A physical fuse is then just there to provide belt-and-braces safety insurance.
