Happened to me too, i was like on Low Battery(red bar), and i was listening to songs. And i checked back at the bar and it was a quarter full.
I was like WTF, sweeeet.
Ok it's a little bit of a glitch you have to at least have some battery it can't be flat, ok what you do is go to your music play a song with your ear-phones plugged in, and then lock your iphone/itouch (press the off button at the top of your phone don't hold it down) and just wait until like the end of the song, and then go back and your phone will be charged up a little bit, but you can keep doing it and just make it last a while
if it didn't work =/ stick with the charger but it's prolly i messed up my itouch so bad it does wierd stuff, but i heard it works for some other people too
Cheers,
Make my day

You guys know that you're not charging anything, right?
The bar is just an estimation of how much battery power you've got left before it dies out.
When you take all this load off of your iPod and put it on hold while just playing a song (opposed using the internet/playing a game), and the lit screen turns off, your estimated battery life has just increased, thus the bar fills up more, but only temporarily. Once you start to put your iPod to use again, the bar will slowly go back to how it's supposed to be.
The bar is just shifty. End of story.

Ye Super-Man is right, this isn't really charging it, it's just tricking itself into thinking it has more battery power than it actually does.
Not necessarily "tricking", but you get the point.
The amount of fill (let's say) in the bar is basically an estimate of how long your battery will last at your current energy consumption rate.
Think of a laptop, for example, with a time in minutes that tells you how long you have until the battery dies. Let's say there's 1/20 power left in your laptop, and it estimates 5 minutes left before your battery will run out in your computers current state. If you turn down brightness on your laptop, put it in energy saving mode, and disable the wireless connection, the estimated minutes will go up based on how much energy your computer is using at that moment (which would probably put it up a good extra 15 minutes), but you still have the same battery power left (which is, as I said, 1/20).
That's basically the same concept the iPod battery icon is using.
THE BAR IS ALL KNOWING!!!
