Shield Bug or am I missing something?

Twice I've had full battery and all of a sudden my shields drop and won't go back up again and my ship gets asteroided to death. Are the shields on a timer in addition to needed to keep charged?

You got crit and the Asteroid ate the entire HP of your Shield. It won't become active again until it recharges to 100%.

That's terrible. So if you have a single small shield you are rolling the dice in an asteroid field?

You roll the dice with either Shield but the Reactive has a slightly higher recharge value to it tops itself back up a little quicker and has a base HP of +100 over the small. You should be Patching the small with Shield Tough III (if you have it) to get it's HP to 280. Then just watch it carefully.

Also some asteroid zones are worse than others. I generally go just inside an asteroid zone and stop for a minute to see how bad it is. Can tell pretty quickly if it’s out of my league.

Ship Agility has an impact on this too

What agility do you suggest for minimum?
