Is バッチリ a generally used, non-slangy, and well recognised word?

I couldn't find the word in jisho.org or the Japanese edition of Wiktionary. I
could find it in
[weblio](http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E3%83%90%E3%83%83%E3%83%81%E3%83%AA),
and apparently it means "excellent", but when it was listing examples, two of
the three examples seemed unrelated ("除去可能なサセプタを伴う熱バッチリアクタ" and
"バッチリアクター内でのＴｉＮ膜の堆積", which were examples involving the katakana word for
"batch" instead).

Is バッチリ a generally accepted term?
It is more than just a common word; It is used everywhere except for in
formal, technical, business or academic **writing** as the word has a light
and somewhat onomatopoeic quality to it. It is not really slangy although it
is informal.

It is the kind of word that makes a conversation sound alive as it gives a
certain rhythm that just sounds good to native speakers.

There are **_so many_** words consisting of four kana with a small 「っ/ッ」in the
second and a 「り/リ」 in the final spots. Most of these words (mostly adverbs)
share the onomatopoeic quality that I mentioned above. None of them are formal
words, either. All are completely originally Japanese with no Sino or other
influence.

Examples: ぴったり、しっとり、もっちり、べったり、がっかり、しっかり、ばったり、どっきり、etc. The list would be near-
endless, trust me. (And these happen to be the sore spot for many Japanese
learners as well because it is difficult to translate them. At least, the
translations will not be just 4-letter long.)

Finally, I personally assure you that the word has nothing to do with "
**batch reactor** " = 「 **バッチリ** アクター」.
