But why? Why do you care to wait so long to charge it? Just stick it on the charger now and then when it's near 40% or so...

Why 40%?

Look at the Depth of discharge table. Discharging 100% only gives 300-500 cycles whereas discharging 50% gives 1,200 – 1,500 cycles, which is what hawhill was getting at.
