Hey all,
I recently got a bedside safe for my HD pistol since my daughter is mobile now. I got a Sentry safe with the lid that automatically pops up when you punch the code.
I have had it for a couple months and the batteries are already dead. I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what uses the batteries on this safe. I typically open it and keep the gun on my bedside table, then when I get up on the morning I put the gun back in and close it. Would it be using battery power while its just sitting open? I would say no except that when you close it there is a whir of mechanical noise while it locks, so I'm really not sure. My other Sentry safe is not an automatic door.and it lasts over a year on batteries.
