In slang terms, “battery” refers to a fight or physical altercation between two or more people. It is commonly used in urban communities and among young adults to describe a physical confrontation.
In more detail, the term “battery” stems from the colloquial phrase “throwing hands,” which means engaging in a physical fight by using one’s fists. “Battery” is often used to emphasize the intensity or seriousness of a fight rather than just a minor scuffle. It can also imply a planned or premeditated fight rather than a spontaneous altercation.
Example 1: “Yo, did you hear about the battery that went down after school? It was crazy! The whole squad was involved.”
Example 2: “Those two dudes have been beefing for weeks, and it finally escalated into a battery. I heard it was a full-on brawl.”
