It sounds like something is eating a lot of power when it shouldn't be then. The battery terminals certainly should not be warm. Is the terminal itself connected ok? A bad connection to the battery post could cause a resistance which then generates heat. Its quite common for people to over-tighten the terminals which crushes them, then they can't seat on the battery post properly. Is the top of the terminal flush or below the top of the battery post?
Have you had a look in the access panel above the battery to see if the main fuse is also getting warm?
