Max Charging Current of typical GC2 battery
Say the GC2 battery bank has been drawn down to 25-50%, what will be the max current they will initially accept? For sure it's greater than the ~24A max my solar charger has reported as that was l...

Meanwhile--yes, on solar it is not always possible to get to full each day. You can go days and days with an incomplete recharge, and get sulfated. Later on, when the sun shines and you can get to full, it does not mean you are out of the woods.

Yes equalization is important after a couple of weeks of partial charge. One of the reasons I've been avoiding AGM, as they seem more difficult to recondition afterwards. Not sure how long these batts will last like this, but we're only snow birds, not full-timers, and they may well get stolen before they die anyway (like happened last winter in storage).
And Berries? About the only thing I miss about the Wet coast are the Salmon berries and fish. Certainly don't miss the fires further inland where it's not wet.
We've had a wet year here in Central-North Ontario, but it's great for the berries, and no forest fires, thank gawd. Not so good for my solar charging though.
