At common law, battery is the tort of intentionally (or, in Australia, negligently) and voluntarily bringing about an unconsented harmful or offensive contact with a person or to something closely associated with them (e.g. a hat, a purse). Unlike assault, battery involves an actual contact.
Battery Defined. Battery is intentional, physical contact of the offender against the victim. There does not have to be an injury for the tort to be classified as a battery, only the intention and physical contact. An example of battery is a guy in a bar punching another man in a bar or domestic violence.
