How Dark Energy Built the World’s Toughest Battery

Born in the wild and tested by the extreme, Dark Energy’s batteries prove that real power is built to endure.

When a sudden Utah microstorm drenched his hunting gear and fried every battery he carried, one electrical engineer decided enough was enough. Out there, far from any outlet, losing power wasn’t an inconvenience, it was a problem worth solving.

That moment sparked the beginning of Dark Energy, a Utah-based company building power products that don’t just survive the elements — they dominate them.

Built from Failure and Built to Last

“Our founder was on an archery hunt in Utah when a microstorm hit—his batteries shorted out. As an electrical engineer, he built the Poseidon Pro so that it would never happen again.”

That single decision created what would become Dark Energy’s flagship product: the Poseidon Pro, a 10,000 mAh portable battery built to withstand almost anything. It’s IP68 waterproof (meaning it can be submerged for 30 minutes), drop-tested from 60 feet, been runover by a dump truck, and has even taken a shotgun blast.

In an age of disposable tech, the Poseidon Pro is a symbol of reliability for people who push beyond comfort zones — hunters, tactical operators, military personnel, and adventurers who can’t afford failure in the field.

Introducing the Poseidon XL: Powering the Next Frontier

Just when most brands would stop at “tough enough,” Dark Energy decided to go bigger.

Launching this holiday season, the Poseidon XLl is the largest-capacity battery you can legally take on a plane. It features 100W in/out charging, fully waterproof protection, and enough output to power a Starlink Mini for three hours.

Pair it with Dark Energy’s new flexible solar panels, and you can keep devices running indefinitely in good sun.

Those solar panels come in three variants: 8W, 18W, and 56W. All designed for everything from recharging phones to keeping the Poseidon XL topped up on multi-day expeditions. The 56W panel can even be chained with others for up to 160W of total input, allowing you to charge faster than most devices can drain.

Built with the same focus on portability, these panels are about 25% lighter than most comparable models, adding flexibility (literally and figuratively) for long-distance travelers, overlanders, and off-grid explorers.

Who It’s Built For

Dark Energy’s gear isn’t designed for casual day hikers. It’s built for people who go farther, stay longer, and operate where failure isn’t an option.

“We’re not for casual users. Our audience goes farther: hunters, tactical users, rafters, anyone who can’t afford for their gear to fail.”

That focus has earned them a loyal following across some of the most demanding communities: military professionals, big-game hunters, rafters, RV travelers, and preppers seeking true energy independence.

The Future is Self-Sustained

With the Poseidon XL and the new solar lineup, Dark Energy is positioning itself at the front edge of a growing movement. A world where outdoor gear isn’t just tough, it’s self-sustaining.

And in a world where technology feels fragile, there’s something deeply reassuring about a brand that builds power you can trust. No matter the weather, no matter the odds.

Because in the end, power that never quits isn’t just a tagline. It’s a promise that was proven — one storm at a time.
