iPod Touch 4th Gen Battery Issue

My iPod Touch 4th gen drains the battery while sitting idle overnight. I listen to it all day at work with normal battery usage. When I got home I charged my touch to 100% then left it disconnected in standby mode overnight and in the morning the it is down to 50%. I checked and there are no apps running in the background. What on earth is happening? I also have a 3rd Gen Touch, with all the same apps and it does not do this.

I have 2 4th gen Touch and they are both behaving the same way.

Any ideas?

Is it possible that FaceTime is polling or something?

Clearly they do open them up. If all the refurbished ones have new batteries, they must open them up at some point and change the battery. It is just a very bad deal to get an old one like that and pay top price for something on it's way to being defunct. Yes, it is a zagg screen protector with professional installation, costs about 30 dollars, I can't remember exactly, but has a life time warranty for replacement, which is more I can say for the ipod. I would not be so annoyed, but they made me go down to the genius appointment wasting an afternoon, instead of telling me over the phone, they refuse to replace the battery. I did not want to go, and they said, they would run a diagnostic on my battery, but the guy did not do it. In fact, he goes I have no info about your battery that I can see from settings. I thought they would at least hook it to a battery tester.

HERES A SOLUTION: since it is a lithium battery even if its off it would 'recharge' very slowly. just dont plugin ipod into power source for like 3-6 days then plug it in and it will turn on. but the issue is u needa battery replacement.... because the charge is not reaching the OS. but if you dont want you can get a battery pack... and get charge off that. but you literally have couple seconds before ur battery goes down to 0% again and have this problem. so if your going to unplug, plug it back in fast as you can.
