What yo do is up to you

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one fwith a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

Apple - iPod Repair price

A third-party place like the following will replace the battery for less. Google for more.

iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. A replacement caots about $10
