Hi bro, you can only bring into Indonesia, foreign banknotes not exceeding 100 million rupiah (thats about S$10k). If you wish to bring more, then will need to declare, or might risk having the money confiscated by the immigration custom officer/s.
If you are completely new to Batam, bring about S$300 per night stay but no need to change all into rupiah as yet untill you need them. I said that becos you probably didnt know what you will be looking at as yet. As in...
Eat : eat what, eat where and what kind of food. Bird's Nest? Abalone?
Sex : Sex from where? KTV? Massage shops? Overnight booking joint or hunting for ONS? Or have multiple girls filling up your hotel bed room? Hehehe...
Shopping : Depending on what you wish to buy? (i go Batam buy apartment, S$10k wouldnt be enough,hehehe...sorry,joking here)
*no offence on the above, as i am just pulling a bit of joke there.
So when i say bring S$300 a night stay to Batam, i do not include hotel room and Ferry ticket, and it should sufficiently covers you massage at the 4th floor King Massage, Alishan KTV, eating inside hotel room and walking over to JV Happy 8 and/or to the booking joints around Utama area (Area A) and a few drinks at Kampong Bule's pubs behind Harmoni Hotel (about 10 mins slow walk from Formosa Hotel).
Once you know what you are looking for in Batam as well as what Batam can brings you. The S$300 amount could either be reduced or increased on your next trip.

Read them all and it should help you as it does for many since you are going to Batam next month, which is on Nov 2019 (your post is dated on 1st October). So you got lots of time to do so,hehehe....
Be reminded to bargain downward for any kind of special service and remember to cut your expectation by at least half.
May you have a good trip.
*hope beginner's lady luck shines brightly on you in your coming trip.
Cheers!
