Can you get aggravated battery by pepper spray?

Well let's see:

Acts most often defined under aggravated battery are:

-use of a deadly weapon

-battery in which serious bodily injury occurs, and

-battery against a child or police officer.

Pepper spray generally does not cause serious bodily harm, though it will sting your eyes like hell for a long time. But if you use pepper spray for any other use aside from self defense, that is battery yes.

Yes. It is for self-defense use only.
