Depending on the circumstances and previous convictions, battery can be both a misdemeanor and a felony.

Battery on a Police Officer is most always a felony. Simple Battery, is generally a high grade misdemeanor. If you've been convicted of battery once before, it could be upgraded to a low class felony.

Check your states' statues regarding Battery or Assault (though they are technically different, some states fade the meaning).

No, possessing a battery is not typically considered a felony offense. However, the severity of the charge can vary based on the circumstances surrounding the battery, such as the extent of physical harm caused or whether a weapon was used.
