I'd try another AC adapter first. It's not unknown for them to go bad and no longer deliver the power necessary to charge the battery. It's really unlikely for the charge circuitry internal to the iBook to go bad.
Apple laptops are designed to run properly from AC with no battery installed at all. Physically remove the battery, plug in the AC adapter, and it should run fine.
If it does not, reset the power management unit as described here:

If this doesn't work, you have a hardware issue that a repair tech would have to address.
