In a perfect world, you have about 2 hours of free time with that itinerary. KLIA is way south of KL, the Batu Caves are north of KL. There's about 70 km between the two – which doesn't mean much in KL, as it can take anywhere from one hour to 3 to cover go from KLIA to just KL downtown. Although there's a slightly longlonger route that circles around KL instead of attempting to cross it.

By train it's 2 hours one way – if you catch the KLIA Ekspres right in time. If not, add an hour buffer time. I would actually take that to come back to KLIA (fixed timing), but take a Grab to go to the Batu Caves. On the way out you get to see a little of KL, and on the way back, you can make sure you get back in time. Arrive 2 hours before departure time: departure Immigration and security checks look deceptively quick. But you will do the real security checks at the departure lounge, and depending on where your gate is, you might have to take a bus to get there. The AeroTrain, which links the main terminal to the satellite has been under reconstruction since Covid, and doesn't show any sign of progress...
