Charge it whenever you like. It doesn't matter.

Another battery related question - at what percentage charge does the first low battery warning come on?

The Kindle doesn't show a percentage, but my estimate is around 10%.

Will it be detrimental on the life of the battery if I wait until that warning comes on before I charge it?

No. Just don't let the Kindle turn off because of low power and then stash it in a drawer for half a year. That'll kill your battery. Also, don't keep the battery at 100% all the time. This happens a lot with laptops that are mostly stationary. That will kill it too.
Modern batteries are designed to have the best life spans when they're used normally. Draining a battery completely and not recharging it, or keeping it at 100% all the time is anathema to normal use, so it's bad for the battery.
