Dark Energy Power Banks and Solar Panels

Built for Conditions Most Gear Won't Survive

Dark Energy is based in Salt Lake City, Utah and builds rugged power products trusted by professional outdoorsmen and military and tactical users. Their products carry genuine waterproof ratings and are engineered to perform in the kind of conditions that ruin ordinary power banks. If you've burned through cheaper gear that quit after a season of hard use, this is the alternative.

Poseidon Power Banks

The Poseidon line comes in three sizes. The Poseidon Pro is the flagship — 10,200mAh capacity, IP68 waterproof rating, USB-C Power Delivery, dual output ports, and an operating temperature range of -20°F to 120°F. The Poseidon Nano is the lighter, more packable option for when every ounce counts. The Poseidon XL steps up capacity for longer trips or heavier power demands.

Spectre Folding Solar Panels

The Spectre series gives you a way to recharge in the field without hunting for an outlet. Available in 8W, 18W, and 56W configurations, these folding panels are lightweight, carry an IPX7 waterproof rating, and can withstand up to 200 lbs of crushing pressure. Pair one with a Poseidon power bank for a self-sufficient charging setup on extended trips, remote job sites, or emergency preparedness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Dark Energy different from other power banks?

Most portable chargers are built for everyday convenience, not field conditions. Dark Energy builds specifically for outdoor, tactical, and professional use — with genuine waterproof ratings, impact-resistant construction, and temperature performance that most competitors don't match.

Is the Poseidon Pro actually waterproof?

Yes — it carries an IP68 waterproof rating, the highest available for consumer electronics, and an IPX7-rated Spectre solar panel is available to pair with it. The Poseidon Pro is also rated to operate from -20°F to 120°F.

Can I charge the Poseidon Pro with the Spectre solar panels?

Yes, and that's exactly what the Spectre panels are designed for. Pairing a Spectre solar panel with a Poseidon power bank gives you a self-contained charging system — useful for backcountry camping, hunting camp, remote work sites, or emergency power situations.

Which Poseidon model is right for me?

The Poseidon Nano is the lightest option — good if you're primarily charging a phone and want to minimize pack weight. The Poseidon Pro is the workhorse: more capacity, USB-C Power Delivery, dual ports, and the full rugged build. The Poseidon XL is the high-capacity choice for longer trips or larger devices. The Pro is the most popular for good reason.

Which Spectre solar panel size should I get?

The 8W is the most packable — best for light carry and topping off a phone or small device. The 18W is the most popular balance of output and portability, capable of charging a Poseidon Pro in the field. The 56W is for base camp setups or situations where you need to power more than one device at a time.
