Trojan's PDF lists a 10 to 13% bulk rate, but does not say this is a recommended minimum.
Found it: Page 13, diagram 4.
And I "think" that this is a recommended optimal charging current. Not a minimum current, and not a maximum either.
Which makes sense, because the next diagram #5 for Trojan AGM (didn't know Trojan had any AGM), shows 20%C bulk rate, also without explanations, and this surely can't be a minimum current. Other AGM brands have maximum charging current 30-35%C, and none have a minimum current except for Lifeline Concord.
So, we may sleep safely with our solar panels, and not worry about current being below "recommended minimum". As long as it gets to Bulk/Absorption every day or most of the days.
