Battery, is the actual harming of the individual, either physical or verbal.
Although some states have replaced the word "battery" with the word "assault", most states have kept them as two different crimes/charges.
Another Explanation:
Assault - To place another in APPREHENSION of an offensive and imminent bodily contact (a battery). NOTE this is not fear. Therefore, if a 100 pound weakling cocks his fist menacingly at a 300 pound professional bodybuilder, said bodybuilder would not be fearful, but can apprehend that the weakling may hit him, resulting in a battery.
Battery - An intentional harmful or offensive contact with a person or an object intimately connected to said person. Basically, any intentional body to body contact meant to be harmful and/or offensive is a battery. No injury needs to occur necessarily (but with no injury, damages will be low). Also, I could swipe an object out of your hand in anger. That too would be a battery.
'Assault' (sometimes called "simple assault" is an assault by unwanted touching using your hands or fists. 'Assault and Battery' means an unwanted touching using your hands using some striking object.
