Roamer design and build ultimate LiFePO4 leisure batteries for campervans, boats and off grid living. My background in electrical engineering and grid scale energy generation meant that campervan electrics were a natural progression and a way to combine my skills and passions. Roamer started as a lockdown business working from home (in Leeds) and it was common to see dozens of batteries stacked up in our kitchen/warehouse! Since then we've gone from strength to strength with growth of over 1000% in the last 12 months. We now design and spec all parts of the battery range, from the specialist LiFePO4 cells to the terminal bolts. Shipping is handled at a dedicated warehouse, there is an admin office in central Leeds and we are moving into European and US markets soon.
