How charged does a car battery need to be to start?

Dead battery, 38 amp hours, 0.8 amp charger = 47.5 hours to fully charge. Will I be able to drive to work tomorrow? Or will trying just prolong the process? 2007 Accord. I left the interior light on over the weekend.

Honestly, you can probably get enough of a charge after 4-6 hours... After that, just let the car run for 30 minutes and you should be good...
