Dark Energy was born from a simple but powerful mission: to keep people powered no matter where life takes them.

In 2012, our founder, Garrett Aida, combined his engineering background and a deep love for adventure to launch a Kickstarter for our first product — The Reservoir. The campaign took off, raising over $170,000 in just a few days, and marked the start of a new kind of portable power company.

Three years later, on a bowhunting trip deep in the backcountry, Garrett realized the world needed something even tougher. That insight led to the creation of Poseidon — a nearly indestructible power bank designed specifically for rugged, real-world conditions.

Since then, Dark Energy has grown into the trusted name in reliable, military-grade portable power. Our products are now used by thousands around the world, from weekend warriors to elite teams within the U.S. Military, FBI, and DEA. Whether you’re halfway around the globe or just off the grid for the weekend, our gear is built to help you stay powered when it matters most.

But this isn’t just about us — it’s about you.

If you demand gear that works as hard as you do, welcome to the team.
