I believe the answer is:

tablet

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

'moses had this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'battle lost' is the wordplay.
'lost' indicates an anagram.
'battle' with letters rearranged gives 'TABLET'.

Can you help me to learn more?
