Roam is permanently plugged in so always shows 100% batt. As soon as I unplug it and try to use it in another room it dies within 5 mins . . . Useless piece of kit . .

It is the official sonos charger that came with the speaker

Then contact Sonos Support if you have only had these things for 4 months as presumably both speaker and charger are within their warranty period.

What charger are you using? If not the official one from Sonos, then it needs to be PD certified with a power output in the region of 2A-3A x 5V (10W-15W) anything less-powerful might cause the issue you’re seeing.

A typical phone charger may not always work, some are only 1A x 5V.

The OP is enjoying the attention they’re getting here, but has already made up their mind not to contact support for any assistance. There’s already a conclusion that there will be no assistance.
