troubleshooting battery issues:
1. Check the cable (you've done this already)
2. Check the port on the computer - Try plugging it into a different port. If you have a hub, or you plug it into a port on the display or keyboard or something, try plugging it directly into the computer. If you have an adapter for plugging it directly into the wall, you could try that too.
3. Reset the ipod - Do this by toggling the hold switch on and off, and then holding down the menu and center buttons at the same time. Basically reboots the ipod.
4. Recalibrate the battery - Run the ipod until it's absolutely dead (will not turn on at all), then plug in and let charge for at least 6 hours.
5. If possible, restore the ipod - Do this by selecting restore in iTunes in the ipod preferences (Warning: This will delete everything on the ipod. Make sure you have copies of everything first.)
6. If none of the above works and the ipod is in warranty, send the ipod for repair Either take it to an Apple Store, or request mail service at http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod
If the ipod is out of warranty, look into a battery replacement program. Apple will replace it for $70, but other companies will do it for cheaper or can sell you a kit to do it yourself. Try iResQ ( http://www.iresq.com ) or RapidRepair ( http://www.rapidrepair.com/ )

bring it to a iPod repair shop to replace the battery. the best thing to do would be to get a new one as a new ipod cost less then a battery and battery replacement

Try this website: http://www.ipodbatteryfaq.com/
It appears you might be able to get a new battery for less than a new Nano...
Good luck!

try holding the menu and the button in the middle that resets the entire i-pod and should get rid of any problems with it

It could be the battery. You might need to replace the battery. :(
