iPod mini charging

Is this normal? How long should it take to fully charge one of these things?

This 'ere iPod mini that I've had for a couple of days - I have it hooked up to Firewire.

The first time I charged it, it charged and the charging animation stopped.

Today, I plugged it back in, updated etc but it's been plugged in for hours now and the animation is still running.

I think 1 hour will give you 80% and 5 or 6 will give you 100%.
