Typical statute of limitations are 3 years for misdemeanors, 7 years for felonies, but may vary with jurisdiction.
However, the longer you wait, the more difficult the investigation will be. The prosecuting attorney will likely want an explaination on why you waited.

For the tort of battery, it is usually 2 years BUT it varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
For the criminal act of battery, it varies greatly and can be as little as 6 months to as much as 7 years.

Depends on the statute of limitations in your state, typically at least a year, sometimes more.
