"In battery" indicates that a rifle is ready to fire, a round is in place and the hammer is cocked.
"Detonation out of battery" indicates that the round went off before it was supposed to.
It could have gone off in the magazine, as it was being chambered, or as the bolt closed.
In a revolver, it would mean that a chamber in the cylinder that wasn't lined up with the barrel discharged.
Revolvers and multi barrel pistols that are charged with black powder are noted for this.
Black powder is concussion sensitive and a chamber can detonate when the chamber next to it was discharged.
Putting the wrong ammo in a gun with a tube magazine can also cause this.
The primer can be touched off by the point of the round behind it causing all the rounds in the magazine to detonate.

Which component of an IED creates an electrical charge?
The component of an IED that creates an electrical charge is typically a battery or power source. This electrical charge is used to initiate the explosive material or trigger the detonation mechanism of the IED.
Is detonation of a physical or chemical change?
could be either. for example, vinegar and baking soda is chemical. overfilled balloon popping is physical. it depends on what detonation you are talking about
Is the detonation of fireworks a physical or chemical change?
The actual detonation (a rapid oxidation reaction) is an example of a chemical change.The resulting blast of expanding gas, sound, and light; and the shredding of the casings are physical changes.
How does radiation spread once a nuclear bomb detonates?
prompt radiation is emitted at the time of detonation and propagates in straight lines from the fireball in all directions; prompt radiation is neutrons, gamma rays, x-rays, UV, light, IR, with smaller amounts of microwave and radio wavesdelayed radiation is mostly in the form of fallout and spreads by the winds (in an atmospheric detonation), water currents (in an underwater detonation), or by following the earth's magnetic field lines (in a detonation in space; delayed radiation is mostly alpha, beta, and gamma rays
