1 Why do new and old battery not charge?
I have 5th gen ipod whose original battery would not take a charge because it was old and had been run down to far to recover, I presume.It booted up but would not play for more than a moment because it had no charge left on indicator. I replaced headphone jack and hold switch ( they weren't working well any more either) and new battery at same time.Resoldered battery ribbon connector to board as well( it broke off in the repair)Ipod will now again boot up and play normally, but this new battery will also not take a charge, but shows a half full battery indicator.The screen tells me it is charging,but left overnight on a 2amp apple battery charger it still shows half full. Is there a fix for this?Is new battery bad as well?
Update
I'll have to buy a new logic board. Battery connector has come off the board again and removed trace when I looked for short. Thanks for the help guys!

The most common fault is the battery connector. I would triple check the soldering connection and see if the error is on there. Check with a multimeter to ensure that the contacts are not shortened.

I'll check it but would Ipod still work, and show charging indicator when powered if there were a short at battery connector on board?

Yes it would if there is a bridge between the contacts supplying power to the fuelgauge:-)
