I believe the answer is:

assault

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'a rating' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'phone battery' is the second definition.
'assault' can be an answer for 'battery' (synonyms). I am not certain of the 'phone' bit.

'on a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for assault that I've seen before include "raid" , "Sort of course" , "Violent attack in action or words" , "set about" , "Strike" .)
