Battery is criminal charge that is legally defined as the unlawful act of physically harming or offensively touching a person. While assault involves the threat of committing physical harm to an individual (whether or not the individual is aware of the threat), battery is the term used to describe the actual act of committing physical harm. Battery charges are often coupled with assault charges.
Though the nature of a case will dictate whether battery charges are filed as misdemeanors or felonies, when a deadly weapon is used and/or when the victim is injured or killed, the charges will be far more serious, as will be the resulting penalties if the accused is convicted of these charges.
