Throwing something at a person is battery, pretty much everywhere in the US.

You could also make an argument that it's "discharging bodily fluids" or some weird kind of "disturbing the peace" type of offense predicated just on disturbing other people around you, but it definitely would be battery.

What if you throw a car battery at someone? Is that double battery?

Only if the battery is charged

Are they discharged if it's not?
