I have an ipod 5th generation that won't hold a charge.

I use it mostly for listening to music and podcasts. It almost never lost any of it's charge for all the yeas I've had it. Then, a few weeks ago even if I wasn't using it, more than half it's charge would be gone in a few hours. It would be 100% charged and I would go to use it and it would be down to 50% or less. I thought maybe it was the battery wearing out, so I just had the battery replaced and picked it up yesterday. It cost me $90. It was completely dead so I charged it to 100%. Within a few hours I had lost 25% power, not even using it. This morning I charged it to 100%, didn't use it all day, just turned it on and it's below 50% again.

So either the guy who put in the new battery scammed me, or there's something wrong with the ipod, or there is something I don't know about draining the battery.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks.

1. Sounds like you need to take it back to the battery guy.

And be careful with it, maybe keep it somewhere if it catches fire it won't burn down the house.
