Battery life is good as long as you keep the default settings. The long battery life comes from a setting called Auto-Lock. It is set to 1 minute by default. When using it, the screen stays fully bed and when you stop using it,If you set it to 5 minute or never, you will notice a significant drop battery power left.

With maximum operation the battery life is not good like wifi just kills the battery and with video there will nothing left check for your video setting if brightness is more than default then that will drain your battery but what you saying about 3hrs is much less time so there can be problem with battery.

Battery Run Time for ipod touch is Up to 36 hrs but that is ideal case another thing is you will get Battery life Up to 22 hours of music playback and up to 5 hours of video playback that all depends on display settings and audio volume well well with 3hrs looks bad contact apple service center
