Because he wants it charged faster than that, and his own fatigue recovers at 1 per 15 minutes rest. So he charges his powerstone at 1 per 75 minutes if he's willing and has the opportunity to risk draining himself 5 at a time and resting. That lets him have the most ST available as soon as possible for the next crisis (unless he gets interrupted while resting).

It requires an enchantment, lab, ingredients, and considerable time. Adding actual ST at the end is the least of it.
