Newfie_Chick , seems that the problem lies in the battery not holding its charge.
If the charging circuit was damaged, the battery wouldn't have charged at all, and you won't even get the short 20mins after each charge.
A firmware update would Never fix the problem, and personally i do not recommend it as you will likely 99% brick it instead. Use firmware updates with caution and only do so for recovering Dead players only.
Perhaps try using another battery. The glacier type player uses the Nokia battery, which is quite common, and you might have 1 lying around at home, or borrow from your friends.
If found that the problem is in the battery itself, you could always either buy an original Nokia battery (which is not worth, considering it costs as much as the player), or you can buy non-nokia branded batteries from ebay for a few bucks.

It`s like an MP3 Player which plays Music CDs only.
