In Florida, a battery may be charged as a felony, where a weapon was used, or where the battery was committed during the execution of another crime, or the battery was committed against a particular class of protected persons such as the elderly.

Added: The crime of "battery" usually signifies that some object, other than a simple hand or fist was used in its commission (i.e.: the perpetrator was armed with something). Although the offense may be codified using different language in other states, MOST (all?) ARMED assaults are chargeable as felony offenses.
