It seems the battery issue can be resolved by turning off the automatic detection of timezones switch. See this article, which is in German, so you may need translation software.

[crarko adds: Not having an iPhone 4s, I haven't tested this one. My understanding is that there are bugs in iOS 5 that are responsible for the short battery life and an update is in the works. While waiting for that, this does seem like something very safe and easy to try out. If you do, please let us know if it helped.

Note: as noted in many comments, this is not an iPhone 4s issue specifically, but affects devices running iOS 5 in general. I've changed the title of the hint to reflect this.]
