Trojan recommends 2.47V/cell on flooded batteries ans 2.45V/cell on their AGM batteries.

To restate using 12V; that is FLA 14.82V and AGM 14.7V.
Now, Trojan does not require, they only recommend. Do they specify any minimum charge Voltage, or maybe a range that includes 14.4V. IOW, won't their batteries be just fine at 14.4V?
Over the past five years or so, I have become very picky about matching the charging specs of my charging sources and batteries. My newest inverter/charge on the 620Ah AGM bank has nine charging profiles. I change the profile settings based on average battery temperatures. My solar charger keeps a log of the temps.
When recommending any major change of batteries, don't you agree that it would be fair to consider discussion of the compatible charging solution?
