Renogy Charger Settings for Trojan T-105
When I first got my Renogy Portable Solar Suitcase, I had a single 12v battery and just hooked it up. Then I started reading the manual and found that the charger had a default battery type of AGM. A...

Charging profiles are built upon the ratio the relationship of ampere hour capacity versus charging potential. This has to be further modified to accommodate wide temperature swings.
Equalization is a controlled charge formula used to correct errant chemistry in cells.
Absorbsion charge voltage limit for a 5% antimony battery on generator recharge should not exceed 14.8 at 20C
Absorsion charge time at limit should be variable depending on hydrometer verification after a dozen or so cycles. This is critical.
Top charge at 5% amp hour capacity to 15.0 volts as needed to reduce frequency need of equalization. Top charging should not be performed on anything but a 100% normally charged battery.
Equalization is warranted when battery is 100% charged yet a .05 density variance exists between cells.
I encourage the OP (or anyone else)) to telephone Trojan and discuss the OP's so-called battery charging profile with one of their application engineers.
A fast rise to 15.0 volts or above is a lot more preferable than forcing the battery to spend hours and hours of time outside of it's voltage pay-grade window.
I not only doubt but I can be confident that Trojan has not abandoned their specifically derived forumulas for battery recharging. They adhere to the C20 protocol which is used when a battery is recharged under ideal conditions, unlimited time.
Some of these charge profiles I read are fit for Alice in Wonderland. Instructions configured by Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum...
