These words are synonyms. But the words "битва" and "сражение" are usually used for large-scale events where entire armies are involved. These words also have a more poetic sound and are often used in a figurative sense: битва умов (battle of minds).

Разница в масштабе столкновения и количестве участников. От меньшего к большему: бой - битва - сражение, причём битва и сражение близки по значению.
Бой за деревню Поповка.
Сталинградская битва.
