iOS 7 Battery Sucks

[iMore Question]

On my iPod the battery seems to be lower than in ios 6.1.3. And it should be obvious at I have the iPod touch 5th generation.

There are many threads that cross apply with even your 5th gen iPod touch. Try them and see if any one thing works. If you tried yet letting the device turn off on its own to recycle the battery?
