@mfries18 go check out my second gunsafe project
It’s a long read… and not the most straight forward at first but it was a good project and I am happy with it
I too Am paranoid about battery being run down
I use an XACv2 in it, and additionally I managed to get a timer relay circuit to work, pretty much exactly like I’d rig it IF\WHEN I go for car, so that the xac is only powered when I need it to be, and not drawing power the rest of the time
You’d just need to figure out where you can add a button or switch to trigger the timer circuit
I want to rig a button to the bottom side of my side mirror
