The Dark Energy Poseidon Pro is a 10,000mAh power bank with an IP68 rating, two USB-C ports and a USB-A port in a slim 0.63 inch body. It is aimed at people who spend time near water or in rough weather.
This review is based on the manufacturer’s listing and specifications. It is meant for campers, kayakers and hikers choosing a sealed bank. See more options in our Camping Power Banks category and our waterproof power bank guide.
Our Verdict
The strongest point of the Dark Energy Poseidon Pro is its IP68 rating in a slim, light body of 6 x 3.25 x 0.63 inches and about 0.6 pounds. The listing says it can be submerged for up to 45 minutes, which is the maker’s claim.
The main trade-off is capacity and output: 10,000mAh and USB-C output of up to 12V at 1.5A. It suits near-water trips with a phone. If you need laptop charging or several days of power, look at a larger bank.

Capacity and Output
The listing gives 10,000mAh and describes the output as fast charging over USB-C. The stated USB-C limit of 12V at 1.5A is about 18W, enough for phones and earbuds but not for a laptop. The listing makes several large claims about hours of use. We do not repeat them, because it gives no method.
Charging and Setup
The listing does not give a recharge time or input wattage in the details we reviewed. Use a charger and cable that match the manufacturer’s guidance. Open the ports only in a dry spot and close them afterward.
Build, Size and Portability
The listing describes an armored, flexible shell and says the unit is about the size of most smartphones. At 0.63 inches it slips into a jacket pocket. It states a temperature range for use, so read the manual for the exact limits.
Features and Compatibility
It works with phones, tablets and cameras through USB-C or USB-A. The listing says it works with iPhone, iPad and camera chargers, but does not name device-specific fast-charging standards, so confirm compatibility with your device.
