However, a person who has a prior conviction for battery or aggravated battery and is again charged with battery faces a 3rd degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a $5,000 fine.
Aggravated battery is defined as intentionally or knowingly causing great bodily harm, disfigurement or uses a deadly weapon during the commission of a batter. It also applies to a battery, no matter how slight, committed against a pregnant woman.
