Why doesn't my ipod work without being connected to the charger?

Ever since I updated to IOS 7, my ipod doesn't work without being plugged in to the charger. I have tried to reset it and delete apps but it still doesn't work without being plugged in. If its not plugged in, it can last about 2 minutes then shut off again.

iPod touch, iOS 7

Try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: How to back up

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
