Rechargeable silica desiccant

Watch outSaturated desiccant does nothing at all, and nothing is exactly what it looks like from outside.
What to look for
- Colour indicator you can read without unpacking the safe
- Capacity stated for the cabinet volume
- No power needed — the option for safes with no cable route
