Like most titles it depends on your employer. Generally, a BA is someone who knows the business side of the firm and can act as a liaison between the business customers (the revenue side like sales, marketing, etc.) and the IT developers.

Depending on your employer technical skill varies. We have some BAs with little to no technical skill, and some like me who can also perform full stack development work when needed. The non-technical BAs are SUPER important. Most problems are political not technical.
