A battleship was a warship that is designed to maximize both firepower and protection, while maintaining operational mobility, in a single vessel. As such they were usually large ships relative to others employed by the same fleet. (ST video game: Legacy)
History
During the Borg and Undine invasions of 2376 and 2377, the involved parties' flagship classes were designated battleships. Their firepower exceed those of their support ships but was no match for starbases. The only vessels more powerful than a battleship were the Species 8472 mothership, Borg fusion cube and Borg tactical fusion cube. (ST video games: Armada, Armada II)
From 2409 onwards, Allied war games were held in the Starbase 234 system. During combat, Starbase 234 was rated a battleship. (STO - New Romulus mission: "Starbase 234 System Patrol")
Alternate timelines
In the Yesterday's Enterprise timeline, the Federation Galaxy-class starship USS Enterprise-D was equipped as a battleship. (TNG episode: "Yesterday's Enterprise")
