How long did others have to wait for the initial 'out of the box' wake up charge?

First the computer has to be on. The computer has to recognize the device, this may require a reboot. A USB expansion hub or connector may not be sufficiently powered. If the battery sat around long enough it may be too low to be seen by the computer.

In that case a charger that plugs into the wall and connects to the yellow round plug is what is required.

A Play Station Portable (PSP) charger should work fine.

Any 5vdc charger with a compatible tip having the (-) negative on the outside and the (+) positive on the inside should also work.

Anyway it goes there is no charging going on until the red light is lit.

Good Luck.
