Batteries and accumulators businesses operate in a complex environment: multi-country sales, B2B and B2C transactions, OEM and aftermarket supply chains, industrial and consumer applications, and rapidly evolving environmental, safety, and digital compliance requirements.

Lappa software helps battery manufacturers, distributors, and sellers stay compliant, automate reporting, and scale internationally without adding operational overhead.

Below are practical examples of how L’EPR, L’Invoice, L’Tax, and L’Authorize can be used in real batteries and accumulators scenarios.

L’EPR – Extended Producer Responsibility compliance for Batteries & Accumulators industry

Use case example : Battery manufacturer selling across the EU

A manufacturer produces and sells industrial, automotive, and portable batteries to customers in France, Germany, Italy, and Poland, both directly and through distributors. Under EU EPR and Battery Regulation requirements, the company is responsible for waste management obligations related to:

• Batteries and accumulators (portable, industrial, automotive)
• Packaging (cartons, plastic wrapping, pallets)

Reporting collection, recycling, and take-back obligations

How L’EPR helps Batteries & Accumulators Industry

• Registers the company with national battery and packaging EPR schemes
• Manages country-specific battery classifications and obligations
• Tracks quantities of batteries and packaging placed on each market
• Submits periodic EPR reports automatically
• Calculates EPR fees and eco-contributions per country and category
  

Result:
The manufacturer avoids penalties, reduces manual reporting, and remains fully compliant with EU battery and packaging regulations across all sales countries. The easiest way to do this – use L’EPR 

L’Tax – Sales Tax & VAT Automation for Batteries & Accumulators industry

Use case example : Battery supplier selling internationally online and B2B

A supplier sells replacement batteries and energy storage products via its own webshop and B2B channels to customers in the EU, UK, and United States. Tax treatment varies depending on:

• Customer location
• B2B vs B2C sales
• OSS / IOSS rules for cross-border EU sales
• Environmental fees and tax surcharges in some jurisdictions
• US state and local sales tax requirements

How L’Tax helps:

• Automatically applies the correct VAT or sales tax rate per transaction
• Supports OSS and IOSS for EU cross-border e-commerce
• Handles complex US state and local sales tax calculations
• Tracks tax liabilities per country and US state
  
• Generates tax reports ready for filing or compliance review

Result:
With broad international coverage and deep tax experience, L’Tax ensures accurate tax calculation on every transaction, reduces compliance risk, and supports scalable global sales.

L’Authorize – for GSPR compliance for Batteries & Accumulators industry

Use case example : Non-EU battery manufacturer entering the EU market

A non-EU battery manufacturer sells portable and industrial batteries through EU-based distributors and online marketplaces.
To legally place batteries on the EU market, the company must comply with:

• EU General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPR)
• EU Battery Regulation product safety and labeling requirements

Appointment of an EU Authorized Representative

How L’Authorize Helps

• Provides GSPR compliance support tailored to batteries and accumulators
  
• Reviews and maintains technical, safety, and conformity documentatio
  
• Acts as the official EU Authorized Representative

• Focuses on growth while Lappa manages compliance

L’Authorize enables seamless EU market access for battery and accumulator sellers.

L’Invoice – E-Invoicing for Batteries & Accumulators industry

Use case example  : Battery wholesaler invoicing B2B customers in Italy

A battery wholesaler supplies automotive batteries, industrial power units, and energy storage components to workshops, OEMs, and distributors across Italy. Italian regulations require mandatory B2B e-invoicing via the Sistema di Interscambio (SDI).

How L’Invoice helps Batteries & Accumulators Industry:
