If an iphone is lost, how long will it stay charged before the battery runs out?

If an iphone is lost, and 100% charged how long do I have to find it before the phone dies and I can no longer call it?

That depends on a lot of factors. If the phone was 100% and lost then your battery life should be a little while longer than expected. It also depends on other things - were there apps running in the background; were you possibly downloading something; were you on Wi-Fi or your carrier's service; how old is the phone… Etc.

If you believe the battery is still charged, you have the option of calling your carrier's tech support line and asking them to run a ping test and they can tell you where they caught the last ping, meaning which tower was closest to the phone when it was last used.
