The Battle of the Five Armies.
Nope, the "thunder-battle" is a great thunderstorm in the Misty Mountains while the Dwarves and Bilbo try to cross the pass. (Note: In the first edition the "thunder" is literally the crashing of great boulders against the mountains as Giants fight. This is edited out as "too childish" and incompatible with the "Rings" plot in all later editions, but the "thunder-battle" is left in - just without Giants involved.)

What did Tolkien mean by a thunder battle?
Tolkien was talking about that awesome occasion when two large thunderstorms collide in the atmosphere. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The "thunder-battle" described in The Hobbit is a "game" played by the Stone Mountain Giants of the Misty Mountains. They throw large boulders back and forth, when a boulder is not caught by a giant it crashes against the mountainside making the sound of "thunder". This is described in first edition copies of the Hobbit, but Tolkien removed it from later editions when he edited the Hobbit to make it compatible with the LOTR story. Most likely it was removed as he felt it might be considered "too childish" as he was elevating the target reading age of the Hobbit to match the LOTR as well as matching the stories. I have not checked the current edition of the Hobbit, Christopher might have added it back (especially as it is depicted in Jackson's movie version of the Hobbit).

What factors define a persons identity in the Hobbit?
It depends on what you mean by "person". Very few of the characters in The Hobbit are actually human beings. So part of a character's identity must be their species. It most books that is not an issue, but in The Hobbit it matters whether we are talking about a dwarf, hobbit, elf, or dragon. Another important factor is names. Tolkien was a linguist and names were very important to him, even in The Hobbit where he is writing for children.
