USB power?

So, I got a used ipod and it doesn't work unless its plugged into a pc. When its unplugged, it refuses to turn on. Might be a battery issue or something... So I was thinking to maybe buy another USB connector thing for the ipod and cut it in half, and powering it like that through an external battery or something. So does anyone know how much power the usb gives, and if this is at all possible?

(btw, I hate iPods, get a zune! Im just using this little thing until I get my zune HD )

EDIT:
wow two iPod failing topics in a single forum! That has to say something
