do you guys think the free roaming battery is what was causing the plane to act and feel funny in flight?

Most definitely


I had a 4*-60 that required that i mount the battery under the fuel tank compartment. During a somewhat aerobatic flight i noticed it "acting up"....it kept ballooning up and was pitch sensitive, and i had an usually hard time landing it. So i decided to call it quits for that airplane and took it apart and i noticed the battery pack was tangled in the pull pull wires, thank God for the safety clip, otherwise it sure would have disconnected and made matters worse
