Anyone have any experience with battery powered push mowers?

actual area that will need to be mowed looks like it's under a fifth of an acre.
kinda "technical" with lots of turns/nooks/crannies with one solid hill
Ego Select Cut essentially copied the Honda Twin-Blade system, which is best in the biz for mulching as of late. Additionally, Toro just added a SuperRecycler version in the 60v line I'd look at as well.
I think the Ego with the 56 volt/5ah battery has like 45 minutes of run time. But lawn length, density, etc. will impact this. Also not self-propelled if that's important to you.
Bro has the EGO. He loves it and uses it for his personal home. He has had it years no issues and he is a land scapper that has huge riding mowers so he picky. I only have a electric rider so can't comment 
But I trust his opinion.

so two houses ago i had a husqvarna gasser that was self propelled and the self propelled feature annoyed me because i walked faster than it... so i'd get pissed off walking too slow.
another perfect fucking example of #tcgknowssomethingaboutfuckingeverything fuck i love it
How many speeds did it have?
I actually have mine in the slowest setting to let the blade and the mower do it's thing.
it was variable but fast wasn't fast enough
i got shit to do

One issue I take with their description...
That isn't true. As mentioned above, Honda has been using a twin blade setup for years now and Snapper has had their Ninja blades out since the mid-90's. My older Snapper is a 1995 model with it. And the honda twin-blade and Snapper Ninja are the two best out there in terms of cut quality.

A few weeks ago I bought a Ryobi push 20" 40v Brushless Lithium at Home Depot for $299. It takes me about 40 minutes to mow my yard, and I've got about 35%-45% battery life remaining. It's lightweight (plastic deck), so pushing it is very easy. I didn't want a propelled mower as I don't mind the mild extra effort, I can set my own pace, the battery would last longer without propulsion, lighter-weight is easier to turn and pivot, and more power goes towards the blade for long/thick grass. The motor spins up automatically when it encounters resistance from thick grass, and it does as good, if not better, than my old gas mower. It gets good reviews, and Aircal has been using one for the last 3 years with good long term quality. It flips upright for easy storage as well. Only negative is that there is a lot of space in front of the cutting deck for the front axle, so I can't get up close in corners, which means I need to do a bit more trimming with the weed-eater. Other than that, my short-term ownership experience has been good and I'm happy with the purchase.

Yes, SuperRecycler is Toro's competitive option to the Honda TwinBlade. Additionally, I'd recommend NOT cutting at full sprint lol. A super fast cut is not a quality cut. Ground speed is important to allow the mower deck to lift the blades and cut them efficiently.
If that's the case, then you're better off looking at a Toro TimeMaster 30" gas mower, the larger deck will reduce cut time so you don't have to Usain Bolt your way through a shit cut.
We’ve talked about this via PM already but I love my DEWALT mower. I’ve had it 3 years and not had a single hiccup. It cuts well, light weight, stores upright in the garage, and of course the batteries can be used in other tools vs having dedicated batteries for a mower. The batteries are warranties for 3 years no cost as well.
The bad reviews on the mower usually come from folks expecting to cut a half acre on 2- 5.0Ah batteries. That was the initial problem when we packaged the mower with smaller Ah batteries, which is really our fault. It gave a false perception of performance, but we only did it to keep the initial cost down. Also if you cut your grass regularly and aren’t trying to mow down wet neglected grass that is a foot tall because you were too lazy to cut it 3 weeks ago, you should be all good.

I saw a neighbor using one at a snails pace as it struggled to chop through the yard. I think if you own one you need to plan to cut often.
I have one. It's is not only the fastest self driven mower I've ever used, it's never bogged down like all of our other gas mowers. Especially this one part of our lawn where the grass seems to grow faster than anywhere else.
I keep the batteries inside for winter and having no maintenance, and I mean none, is the best part about it.
