Okay, this may seem like a no brainer ... but it wasn't for me until I figured it out. If you are experiencing mysterious power drains on your PowerBook when running on battery power while it is (or should be) sleeping, check your mouse. The drain could be because the mouse is waking it up -- even while the cover is closed. Be sure to discconect any external pointing devices before the machine is put to sleep.
