Up to 22 hours, but under normal usage, probably less. See Tuomas' tests here:

It really depends how the battery charger (internal circuitry) detects "full" but it is possible there could be a small difference.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?
