Or perhaps pump it down to a vacuum, hold for a couple of hours, then fill with dry nitrogen? Just don't power it during that time. > Another method is to seal a small quantity of P2O5 in it as a > humidity "getter".

Doesn't that pose a minor fire/explosion risk? As the H2 and O2 try to recombine?
