I-Pod Wearies

Yesterday my mother went to Tullahoma for any number of things. Then when driving back to the mountain we stopped at the dreaded Wal-Mart. I picked up a charger for my ipod that allows you to connect it (or any USB enabled device) into the gadget and voila! it's charged.

Except that in this case it ain't working.

The ipod says it's charging. It looks charged but if you disconnect it from the chargey thing its battery icon goes back to a sliver of a sliver of red.

What does this mean? Does it mean my battery is fried? Does it mean my cord sucks? It worries me since I'd like to listen to my ipod while traveling all about and stuff.
