 Lithium can famously accept huge amounts of current;  this does not mean it is //good// for it to do so.

 Lithium does not have a minimum charging current in the lead-battery sense.  Charge as slow as you like.
+If you choose to end Absorption based on current, you might start out with [[electrical:12v:battery_capacity|0.05C]] and see where that gets you.  Adjust as needed.
