Another vote for Kobalt. Mine is a 48v self-propelled mower that folds up for storage. It uses two 24v batteries that also work in other Kobalt tools.
Which brings up another issue if you're going to do it yourself. You'll also need a battery-powered string trimmer, hedge trimmer, and leaf blower. I had already bought a 40v Black-and-Decker string trimmer and blower before I bought the mower, so I can't comment on the Kobalt equivalents, but I don't think 24V is enough to do the job. The 40v B&D stuff works fine, but there are better brands.
I sure wish the industry would settle on a standard battery pack so we could mix and match instead of being forced into brand loyalty just because of the batteries.
I don't think these plastic battery-powered tools would have lasted a season of mowing my 2 acre Texas place, but they seem to work fine for my current postage stamp lawn.
