Do refurbished iphones come pre-charged?

I need to know because i have to go and buy one from apple, but if the phone is not pre-charged and ready to go then i will be stuck there lol.

New Lithium-Ion batteries are usually charged to about 40% before shipping. But they can lose charge sitting on a shelf.

Chances are that your new, refurbished phone will have at least some charge in it. But, have a "Plan B", anyway.
