It may depend on jurisdiction, but often assault is a threat, assault and battery is violence.

I get that. However, to reach felony status it usually has to involve a weapon, or protected class of person even if battery is considered separate. That's why I was curious.

Definitely jurisdiction dependent. I know at least some states combine them both under 'assault.'
