Michael, The diode voltage dropping trick sounds like a very 'safe' method to me. One can even switch out the diodes when the battery voltage falls. I have used this technique many times, but not with the particular batteries you are using - figure the number of series diodes that you need from the maximum charged battery terminal voltage and the diode forward voltage drops.
