it will go from 5% to 25% for a few minutes and then back to 5%. does someone know what could the problem be?
(it doesn't stay at 5% or 25% all of the time just using those numbers as examples)
i just noticed it only glitches after saying connect to power and goes to 20-30% for 30 secs-1 minute
i have had problems with this same device before.
Is this a good question?

Hi
When battery’s start acting like this they usually need replacing
Battery’s degrade with age ,things like heat can also play a part in it too
In order to replace your iPods battery you will need some quality soldering tools such as
Soldering iron ,solder wire ,solder wick and flux
You will also need to follow along with this video (linked below)

If you need any help with it please let me know
Hopefully this helps
Any questions please ask
Thanks:-)

@hellomacos has the repair covered; I just wanted to add my support to his diagnosis.
The thing is, there are only two parts involved in the battery data; the battery itself and the logic board. Assuming you've tried the software solutions like restoring the phone back to the defaults and updating the OS, if it is indeed a hardware issue then it can only be solved by replacing one of those two parts. Since batteries are inexpensive, it would make sense to try a new one as the first step in trying to fix your iPod.
If the battery doesn't resolve the problem, then it's most likely got to do with the logic board, which is generally not repairable by us home diy-ers. So yeah, your best bet at this point is to try a new battery.

I have 13 7G Nanos. The battery indicator on several of them is totally unreliable to the point of indicating almost no power remaining and then supplying power for several more hours. This isn't a universal problem but it is annoying. Unless your Nano is shutting down after a very short time, just ignore the battery indicator. If you're truly getting shortchanged on the power level, have the battery replaced. It will cost you around 60 bucks if you don't have the skills to do it yourself (I don't). The new battery will probably outlast the practical future of the player. (By way of comparison, a new Nano 7g if you can find one will run you a couple of hundred dollars.)
