"In battle" = "Fighting in the current battle"
"In the Field of Battle" = "Anywhere a battle is being fought."

Where is this documented? That seems silly to me...

Battle

The phrase ‘in battle’ or ‘current battle’ refers to any cards in the current battle that can be either the primary battle (rescue attempt or battle challenge) or it can refer to a side battle, NOT BOTH. See also Battle Phase.

•      Example 1: Achan’s Sin reads, “Interrupt the battle and remove all cards in battle from the game.” If this card is activated in a side battle then it will only interrupt and remove all the cards in the side battle.  If this card is activated in a primary battle (rescue attempt or battle challenge) then it will interrupt and remove all the cards in that battle.

•      Example 2: Devourer reads, “Interrupt and discard all good enhancements now in battle.”  If this card is activated in a side battle then it will only interrupt and discard the good enhancements in the side battle.  If this card is activated in a primary battle (rescue attempt or battle challenge) then it will interrupt and discard the good enhancements in that battle.

The phrase ‘Field of Battle’ refers to any cards in the Field of Battle including primary battle and side battles.

•      Example: Deceit of Sapphira and Rizpah’s Sackcloth both read, “Discard all cards in the Field of Battle including yours.”  Either of these cards will discard every card in the primary battle and the side battles regardless of which battle they were activated.
