10.2.5 is supposed to fix this problem, however, it you don't plan to 
upgrade just yet, try going to the date and time panel, correct both 
and click on the network time tab and then click use a network time 
server. what happens is that action locks your time so it can't be 
changed unless you manual;u deselect the net time server.

I didn't have the battery problem with my ibook but I did have the time 
problem with my G4 when I upgraded to 10.2.4 and this fixed it. If the 
problems are related, it may fix both.

When you close the ibook, check carefully to see if the latch is 
actually engaging the lock and then check to see if there is any warp 
along the top edge that may be letting the lid stay open too much and 
then any bumps might cause the HD to spin up and waste the battery. The 
heat you feel is definitely a sign that the ibook in not sleeping.
