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.
