iPod 5th Gen battery won't hold charge after installing new battery

Hello Answer Forum. I am wondering why is my iPod 5th Generation (Video) not keeping it's charge after charging it over night? I recently ordered a new battery from iFixit & my iPod battery won't seem to keep the charge. It clearly shows that it's charging as I see the battery icon flashing it's lightning bolt. As soon as I disconnect the power it turns off. It plays well when I connect it to hear my music in my car while it's charging. Does this sound familiar? Or, did I do something wrong during installation of the new battery?

@studiolounge

could be an issue with the battery. I’d contact iFixit support on here https://help.ifixit.com/collection/130-c... and see if you get a replacement. If that still does not resolve it, check the battery connector on the main board. Those have a tendency of breaking loose. Anything after that will be related to the charging circuitry and thus requires some micro soldering and a schematic (which does not seem to exist in the public forum)

Thank you so much for getting back to me. Issue has been resolved as it as the battery connector that broke loose. I was more careful this time : )

Never mind…..lol. I found out the problem. When I opened up my iPod again to investigate, I found that the battery cable had became loose while putting the iPod back together. I’m so glad it wasn’t something else : )
