If you're carrying a Poseidon XL into the backcountry, you'll want something that can actually keep it fed. The Spectre 56W is Dark Energy's high-output solar panel, engineered to recharge power-hungry gear using nothing but daylight. Photo-Skyn technology keeps the flexible cells working even when the sky clouds over, and the built-in sun meter takes the guesswork out of positioning, showing you exactly how hard the panel is working via four LEDs. The included kickstand improves efficiency by up to 25% once you dial in the angle. When one panel isn't enough, you can chain up to three Spectre 56W units via XT60 cables for a combined 168W output. IPX7 waterproofing and a hefty crush rating handle whatever the weather or your pack throws at it, and MIL-STD-810G certification covers the drops and impacts in between.

These days, your phone is much more than just a tool for communicating with the outside world. It's your map and compass, your pocket torch, and your means to finance a quick resupply — all at the same time. In fact, it could be argued that it's the singular item that can make or break your adventure more than any other, especially if you're out of battery the moment you need it. Which is something that the folks at Dark Energy are acutely aware of. As long-distance backcountry adventurers, they often spend days at a time in their native Wasatch Mountains, hiking dozens of miles over harsh terrain in Utah's unforgiving climate. And they rely on their phones to keep them on track, safe, and connected to the outside world.
Knowing all too well the pitfalls of lesser power products, Dark Energy has made it its mission to create hyper-rugged charging solutions you can rely on in the wild. And since 2013, they have become a brand trusted, used and abused by everyone from hikers, campers and emergency workers to the US special forces — all due to the outstanding quality of their kit.
