It's spelled "idle". "Ideal" is a completely different word.

Could the battery be the culprit? Yeah, sure could. Maybe you should swap it out with a known good battery and see if you display the same symptoms. If so, you can cross that off your list of things to check.

Yes. Happen to me before, I though it was the alternator, but it was just a battery.
