There could be a short, probably caused by kink, in the line. The sudden loss of power MAY not be sudden because you do not notice the monitor in the upper right hand corner has switched from electrical supply to battery.
If that is not the culprit, take your Power Book to your local Apple authorized repair shack. They should run a volt meter over the circuits to determine if the Power Book is drawing adequate power from the plug or battery. Have your tried a different power cable and/or battery?
