The invention relates to a method that consists to give a second life to used electric vehicle battery packs by reusing them as a power source for an autonomous battery charger, preferably for a mobile battery charger. The method includes successive steps consisting in: a) selecting, among battery packs that have been removed from electric vehicles, at least two battery packs; b) balancing the voltage between the selected battery packs, in order that the selected battery packs have the same State Of Charge (SOC); and c) integrating the selected battery packs () into the battery charger.
