A battery routine doesn't need to be complicated with 3800's. As I said before don't worry about the trick of the week.
Nilsen gave a good example of a battery routine. Don't get hung up on what type of discharger you use to get to 5.4V it can be a charger, bulbs, or whatever. Run the pack, discharge it, and equalize before you use it again and you won't have any problems. Remeber there are alot of companies who make a leaving on selling the next big thing in battery maintenance. Look at how many different types of dischargers Integy has on their website! Keep it simple and practice practice practice!
