Truly wireless - Battery Powered PLAY unit

Well, sent a request to customer support for this, and, after 3 years, the answer is: I wish I had better news but at this time we have no announcements to make on a battery powered speaker. We are always interested in what our customers have to say about our products, and so to make it easier to track the support our customers give these ideas we have a feature request section on our website. Sonos customers can add their support towards these ideas, and the more people who put their support towards them the more likely they are to be implemented sooner. I'm thinking, after 3 years, and their direct competitor putting out this exact item, we shouldn't plan on seeing this. It's a real shame. I think Sonos has a great product, but the truly wireless option is a deal-breaker for me. I haven't invested in either system yet, so I have no vested interest in Sonos yet. Looks like Denon is getting my business. Sorry, Sonos. I think you're letting this slip through your fingers. And over a fairly simple feature.
The last song the Play 1 played was 'Babe i'm gonna leave you', and I went straight to bed with my new lover http://www.beoplay.com/products/beoplaya2#at-a-glance

heck, how difficult could it be? Cars drive for miles on batteries these days, SONOS gotta get their act together, or there'll be lots of 2nd hand SONOS units for sale. Remember KODAK? "Digital photos? No we'll stick with yesteryears technology".

Yes I need one for our boat so we can rest the 2 batteries on our old 1973 boat. Have wifi and Rick and roll. Cmon Sonas. Some other company is going to make the millions to give us wifi and rechargeable batteries. But love sound of my sonas

Yes waterproof as well. Counting on you Sonas. Don't let us down

While this request is similar to several of the battery powered Play 1 options, I'm more interested in a weather resistant version of the Play 3 or Play 5 for mounting outside on my patios. They would be under the roof overhang but still exposed to humidity and heat and cold so they would likely need to be more than an indoor unit. Currently I use older Cambridge Soundworks outdoor speakers wired to a Connect Amp but have other locations where I want to add speakers. Running a power plug is way easier than speaker wire back to an indoor location for another Connect Amp. Produce a weather resistant version and my bet is they'll be a top seller!
Better to use a connect:AMP indoors and connect a pair of outdoor speakers? I did it this way, but still want a Play:1-battery to carry around.

Yes, I too support a battery powered ( &/or backup) speaker which is water proof (IPX7 waterproof standard), to be use outside.  

This unit should have either 110 AC volt or battery operational function.  This unit should also serve as a unit that permits continuous use even though one may have experienced a power outage when using the alarm function.  

As an aside,  sonos should consider an alarm clock with digital display with battery backup as a sister to this dual 110 volt / battery powered unit

Love Sonos.. But considering to change to this for a portable solution:

Come on Sonos.. It is just a battery!!! And this request is 3 years old..

Play:1 with battery still wouldn't be very portable though with lack of input. Not like it can replace my Bose Bluetooth speaker I take on trips with me currently.

I just wish they made a water-proof outdoor speaker/docking solution. May I suggest L-ion batteries that are charged using a proven induction technology, that I can have the base and speaker permanently out on the patio. I recommend the induction charged battery solution on a water proof speaker so you can pickup and move the charged unit near a pool/hot tub/or wash the car and still hear the music with out fear of electrocution. if they can do waterproof in these I'm sure you guys can come up with something. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/acoustic-audio-acoustic-audio-rs6gg-grey-500w-indoor-outdoor-patio-rock-speaker-pair-rs6gg-pr-gray/1308786962.p?id=mp1308786962&skuId=1308786962

so, this Thread is now 3 years old! Absolutely nothing happened.

Sonos keeps painting its Play:1 in 3456 colors but refuses any bit of information regarding a battery powerde speaker (or whatever people asked for, in this thread).

Denon with its heos systems is already way beyond. The took their Play:1 competitor and allow you to simply connect a battery pack to the bottom. That's it.

Why is Sonos keeping to ignore their customers? Is it too much money? Going out of business or simply their nose up in the sky?
