As an avid backpack hunter, the weight in my pack is something I’m always cognizant of. More weight on my back means more energy loss throughout my hike. So, gear items like power banks will sometimes get left at the truck. The Poseidon Nano ($60) from Dark Energy is an ultralight charging solution for the weight-weenies of the world.
Is this lightweight power addition worth its minimal weight?
In short: Hunters, backpackers, or hikers looking for that little extra boost to keep their phone rolling in the field will be done right by the Dark Energy Poseidon Nano.
Pros
- Very small and lightweight
- Multiple charging options
- Holds a charge for 2+ years
Cons
- Can’t do a massive amount of charging with the Nano
