Original IPOD Mini Battery

I have been having a problem with my IPOD mini since 2007 and figured since it was past warranty why bother. But I now want to know the answer since my other IPODs are doing it now. It indicates that it needs to be charged, I charge it until it reaches 100% then I try to use it and it plays 1-3 songs then stops working indicating it needs to be charged again. It only works if I plug it in and use it plugged in. Any ideas what might be wrong with me or the IPOD?

iPad 2, iOS 6, Itunes 11

Those lithium batteries in iPod are designed to work for a certain number of charge cycles, like all rechargeable batteries. If a battery is left completely discarded for an extended period, that can also reduce its life. Eventually, they will no longer hold a charge, and need to be replaced.
