A batch file is a script, but scripts are necessarily batch files. The term script usually
infers a high level language to perform a series of functions or routines. Batch files have
limited capabilities and are usually used to run a series of programs based upon set of
requirements.

That's good enough, others can be more specific, generic or elaborate.
