What Sidekick Owners Are Saying
Real owners have used their Sidekick for storm-season peace of mind, bedside backup, and everyday essentials like phones, lights, radios, and small electronics.
★★★★★
No Fumes So I Could Use It IN My Tent!
"I purchased the Sidekick to have for emergencies when the power goes off, but I've used it the past two years at deer camp to keep my phone charged and a light in my tent at night. It sure beats a lantern, and I don't have to worry about fire [from a gas generator]… I recently purchased a second one as another back up. I highly recommend this to anyone who may have power outages."— Robert P., Seligman, Mo.
★★★★★
This Little Generator Gets the Job Done
"This product is so versatile, and at only 8 lbs, my grandchildren can get it. We had many trees down from a storm… My husband calmly hooked up his Sidekick and made short work at lopping off the branches… It lasted longer than the gas 'polluting' machines. Very grateful you have made this available to buy at an affordable price."— Rita L., Hazlet, N.J.
★★★★★
Wildfires, Earthquakes, Outages, Oh My!
"Having this generator means I'm not stuck. 4Patriots is by far the best place to shop for your critical emergency needs. I have been a customer since 2017. It's better to be prepared than to start doing that crazy buying that people were doing, for instance, at the start of the pandemic."— Sharon P., Novato, Cali.

Why Throw a Retirement Sale?
The Sidekick has earned a proper sendoff. We're making room for the next-generation model, so this retiring model's brand-new units are clearing out at half price.
That's why the price is cut in half. Not because they're used. Not because they're returns. Not because anything is wrong with them. It's the same dependable Sidekick our customers have relied on for years.
Think of it as a retirement party for one of our best-selling small generators: a final chance to get the proven model for $249 before the sale ends Friday, July 31.
No hype, no gimmicks — just a real retirement sale with a real end date. This offer closes at midnight Central on Friday, July 31.
What's the Catch? There Isn't One.
❌Not used or refurbished — every unit is brand-new
❌No fake countdown resets — the July 31 end date is real and the same for everyone
❌No recurring charge — this is a one-time purchase
❌No checkout guessing — review your full order before paying
❌No rushed decision — 90 days to try it at home
❌No restock coming — this model is retiring and the sale ends July 31
The Real Outage Problem Is the Scramble
You know the little math that starts as soon as the lights blink out. How much battery is left on my phone? Where are the flashlights? Can I keep a lamp on for Mom? What happens if this runs into tomorrow?
In fact, about 83% of reported major U.S. power outages over the last two decades were weather-related, and the most recent decade studied saw 64% more major outages than the one before it.¹ Storms, heat waves, and an aging grid all add up to the same thing: the power isn't as dependable as it once was.
You can't control when the next outage hits. But you can make sure the basics don't disappear with the grid. A little backup power, charged and waiting, changes the whole feeling in the room.
A Small Power Station for the Stuff You Actually Need
The Patriot Power Sidekick® is not a whole-house generator. That's the point. It's a compact battery station for the essentials you reach for first when the grid goes down.
Charge it from a wall outlet at home, or from the sun with an optional solar panel. Then, when the power goes out, plug in what matters: your phone, a lamp, a laptop, even a mini-fridge in a pinch.
Because it stores electricity instead of burning gasoline, you can use it inside your home without fumes, exhaust, or engine noise. No gas cans. No pull cord. No running an engine in the rain. Just quiet, ready power you can keep in the bedroom, the pantry, or grab on your way out the door.
At only 8.6 pounds — about the weight of a gallon of milk — it goes wherever you go.
"I don't have to worry about fire [from a gas generator]… I recently purchased a second one as another back up." — Robert P.*
Watch: Craig demos the ports and built-in light
"I really like how many things the Sidekick can run. I can charge my cell phone and iPad at the same time, run an electric razor, my radio, an electric blanket and so much more. It's so easy to take with you anywhere — very light!" — Craig W., Law Enforcement Officer, Indiana*

Here's the simple truth: a gas generator still needs gas right when everyone else needs gas too. A charged Sidekick already has power stored inside it. Keep it charged, and it's ready to work quietly inside your home the moment the lights go out.

Why This Little Battery Solves a Big Outage Problem
1. Use It in the Room You're Actually In
A gas generator can't come inside — the fumes are dangerous. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports portable gas generators are tied to an average of 85 carbon-monoxide deaths a year.² The Sidekick runs on a stored battery charge, so there are no fumes and no engine noise. Keep it on a nightstand, a kitchen counter, or beside the chair where you actually need power.
2. Carry It Without Making It a Project
At 8.6 pounds with a built-in handle, the Sidekick moves as easily as you do. Carry it room to room, tuck it in the pantry or the car, or grab it in one hand if you ever have to leave home in a hurry. Backup power is a lot more useful when you can actually move it.
3. Real Battery Chemistry, Not a Throwaway Gadget
Inside is a lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, a chemistry known for stability and long cycle life. It's rated for roughly 2,000 charge cycles, so you can drain it down and charge it back up again and again for years of dependable use. With 299 watt-hours of stored power, 9 outlets, and 300 watts of continuous power (360 watts peak), it's ready for the devices your family reaches for first. Recharge in as little as 5 hours with the wall cord.³

A Retirement Sale Is Not a Restock
This offer exists because this Sidekick model is retiring, not because a storm is on the calendar. The next-generation model needs warehouse space, and this retiring model is on its way out.
This retirement sale ends at midnight Central on Friday, July 31. After that, this model's half-price sendoff is over.
If a small indoor backup battery has been on your "someday" list, the retirement price makes this the moment to move it off the list.

Questions? We've Got Answers
What can it realistically run in an outage?
The Sidekick is built for your essentials — the things that matter most when the power's out. On a full charge it can run a smartphone for roughly 60 hours, LED lights for about 30 hours, a laptop for around 6–7 hours, or a mini-fridge for close to 4 hours.³ It's not meant to power your whole house — it's meant to keep you connected, lit, and going. Need to run bigger appliances? That's what our larger generators are for.
Why is it half off — is it used?
No — these are brand-new units. We're retiring this Sidekick model to make room for the next-generation model, so it's 50% off through July 31, while this retirement sale lasts. Same dependable Sidekick, honest reason, real savings.
Do I need the solar panel? Why isn't it included?
You don't need it to use the Sidekick — it charges fully from any wall outlet. A solar panel simply adds the ability to recharge from the sun when you're off-grid or an outage runs long. If you'd like one, you'll have the option to add a 40-Watt folding panel at checkout for just $99 (regularly $149).
Can it run a CPAP machine?
Many customers use the Sidekick with smaller CPAP setups. Runtime varies widely by machine and settings — heated humidifiers in particular draw much more power — so we don't quote a single number. For all-night, every-night CPAP backup, our larger generators are the better fit.
How long does it last?
The Sidekick's lithium-iron-phosphate battery is rated for about 2,000 charge cycles — drain it and recharge it again and again for years of dependable backup power.
How does shipping work? When will it arrive?
Your order ships with a trackable carrier, and you'll get a tracking number by email — usually within a few days of ordering. (Some items can't ship to Canada, Hawaii, Alaska, or P.O. boxes.)
How do returns work?
Simple: if you're not satisfied, call our USA-based customer service team within 90 days and they'll walk you through the return for a refund.
