Its probably going through idle relearn since the dead battery wiped the memory from the PCM. I would suggest disconnecting the negative battery cable for a few minutes. Then reconnect it and start it up (cold engine with all the accessories off, especially air conditioning) Let it idle for as long as it takes to get all the way up to full operating temp. Then put it in gear and let it idle for approximately 5 minutes. After that, shut it off then turn it back on and let it idle for a few more minutes. You should be good to go after that. Let us know if that helps, I had to do the same thing on my truck.
I’m pretty sure Eric has already covered that in a video called, “How To Solve Honda Idle Problems” Might want to search his YouTube videos.

Excellent suggestion and I believe this ended up being the fix
