Not to get all geeky here or anything, but the charge cycle for batteries is asymptotic, which means that as the battery reaches full capacity, the next 1% takes exponentially longer to charge. So, really, it's always taken the last 10% the longest amount of time to charge. The important question is, how much power does the first 90% provide? If it's a workable 1000mAh+, then does it really matter if the last 10% takes 1 hour or 8 hours or even 24 hours?
