24 hours sounds like a long time alright. Might it be just the charger is not able to tell current battery levels? Have you tried placing it back into the bike to see if it will start?
As TK suggested, you can always try a running start if the battery goes flat. To do this, follow the below:
Turn key to on,
Place cut off switch to allow power,
Bring bike to a quite area with little or no traffic,
Place bike in first gear,
Hold in the clutch while standing beside the bike,
Run with the bike... try get a good speed going,
"pop" the clutch (means to let it out in a quick release)
Bike should start to spluter,
Just as the engine starts to kick in, pull in the clutch again.
Bike should now be running (although you may need to give the engine a few little revs to get her running). If all is ok, the battery should begin to charge. Try ride the bike to get it to charge faster. Be careful of cut outs at this point. Turn off any lights if the bike does cut off. Then try electric start the bike again.
Where did you buy the bike from though? What kind of bike? We might be able to give you more advice. Remember, you paid good money for your new pride and joy. So if something doesn't work as soon as you got it from the shop, get them to take it back and sort it. You are entitled to this.
Once you have the bike sorted, remember to take lessons. Also ask as many questions here as you like... someone is bound to know something that might help you

It could be the case that the shop didn't prep the bike for long enough? Usually they'd have it running to give the battery a charge. The battery crapped out like this on my last bike on the first day but the new bike was grand - he had it running in the shop for me while we sorted the paperwork etc and I got home without a prob. Ah the memories - there was no traffic so I felt like I was in American Chopper when you see them out giving the bike a test run except that intead of Orange County I was cruising by Glasnevin Cemetery!!

Charge the battery at 10% of it's rated capacity - any faster, and you risk boiling it and ruining it - I hope you're not using a car charger - they'll wreck the battery as they charge too fast.
So, a 15Ah battery, charge it at 1.5A for 10 hrs, or .75A for 20 - get the idea?
I've a lift table - and it's a godsend. I should have bought one 10 yrs earlier. But you'll need a proper garage for it, and they ain't cheap ! See it here:
Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
