One charged with physical attack? (7)
I believe the answer is:
battery
'attack?' is the definition.
(I know that battery is a type of assault)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for battery that I've seen before include "Group of cells (or guns)" , "Storage cell" , "Source of stored energy" , "crime" , "associated with assault" .)
