I used to have an HTC Desire a few years back and found info on things to do to squeeze more battery life out of a new battery, and it worked. Are there any tricks to doing the same type of thing to a Bionic's battery? I've read things on draining your new battery 3 times and then fully charge it to condition it to get max life out of it, is this true?

Is there any truth to conditioning a Bionic's new battery?

It's open for debate. Most say the current battery technology doesn't need to be conditioned. I still try not to take a new battery and start charging it when it's only at 20% or things like that. The first couple of charges I do try to kill it completely and then fully charge it. It's not exactly going out of my way to do so, I just charge it at night anyway.
It probably doesn't matter, but it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to just drain the battery once and let it charge fully.
