When my Sonos Roam battery runs off and I connect it to power I can’t play music. I vitally I can’t turn it on at all for a while like 10 or 15 min. Is this a design flaw or my roam is malfunctioning?
Thank you.

Anybody?????
It’s possible there is a minimum recharge level. But you might need to contact Sonos support for an answer, rather than a user community.
Ah okay thank you. I thought the community had Sonos Technician that could answer.
With lithium-ion batteries it’s best to not leave them fully discharged for long periods… if left to go ‘flat’ it can take a while to get them back up and running.
When not in use, I just either power off the Roam completely (5+ sec power button press till I hear the shutdown tone) and/or use the power saving features, or I simply leave it charging on a Qi charger.
I rarely let it fall below 15% battery-level and it’s now over 3 years old and still going strong. If you do keep ‘em on a charger it’s ‘apparently’ a good thing to discharge them below 20% at least once every six months, or so. At least I read that somewhere, so I do that… and I do a similar thing with my mobile phones/tablets too.
How do you get the battery level?
i use it via airplay on Spotify because the Sonos app is trash and the percentage is buried in the preferences.
