Your car is re-learning the fuel trims. A few drive cycles and your car will be back to normal.

It is possible that when you changed the battery, the ecu lost all it's learned settings. Now it will have to re-learn them. This may take a couple of driving cycles. Wait a day or two before you start to worry.
