If your Sonos Roam is having battery issues such as not being able to hold a charge or not charging at all, then use this guide to replace the battery.
The battery is responsible for providing the energy that the speaker uses to function. It can be charged, store the energy, and provide energy when needed.
Before using this guide, make sure your current charger is compatible and you have the right USB cable. Also try rebooting the device.
There are steps that recommend (not require) the use of the iOpener. This will help with carefully removing the adhesive used to keep this device together. Refer to this link on how to properly use the iOpener.

Great guide. Do you have information on the battery needed? I dont see one available from Sonos, so I presume a 3rd party is required?
Mit welchem Kleber befestige ich die Abschlusskappen nach Abschluss des Akkutausch am besten wieder?
Fantastic instructions, saved my roam from being a brick. iOpener is worth every penny! Not a paid advertisement
The teardown was easy with these instructions, as was the re-assembly. I replaced the battery with one from AMAZON (they have a lot of them) but no joy - the problem appears too be with the PC board or defective switch - so I bought a new Sonos ROAM 2. Oh well - everything eventually obsoletes and Sonos offered no solutions out of warrantee. Next stop - rep[lace a 3TB fusion drive on an iMac.
Just completed this and speaker back to working - only issue i had was step 11 and the wire became disconnected form the board end, not the case - end. All good though as a resoldered it to the board. Was a little nervous about that as I know some boards can't take the heat from resoldering directly to the board. So far so good - enjoying my Jazz channel right now :)
