Why does it always shuts down?

Why does it always shuts down?

It seems my iPod is getting "old". The battery doesnt seem to hold a charge as it use to. I charged for an hour and still half is shown. I did change the headphone piece a couple times, thus had to discconnect the battery from the board. It seems that where the battery cable connects to the board is loose alot!! I think that is why. The harddrive is fine. What should I fix? Is there a cheaper alternative?

You most likely need a new battery, get it here.
