In developing countries, the problem of collecting used batteries is a significant environmental problem, especially as: the demand for batteries grows, the system of collection and disposal of used batteries is not appropriate, environmental problems are visible. This problem is particularly important in countries with difficult terrain, an example is Nepal. The subject of the paper is the method of collection of used lead-acid batteries in Nepal with the use of the concept of transport telematics. The scale of the problem in Nepal has been identified, the terrain conditions in which the used batteries are left has also been described, a mobile platform was proposed with a communication system to identify used batteries in the field, and the method of physical collection of batteries dispersed in the field and transport to warehouses was proposed. The technical assumptions of the system for the identification, collection and transport of used lead-acid batteries have been also formulated.
