I’d used EGO equipment/batteries for maybe 8 years, never had one last over 5 years. Mower batteries (5al. 7al, 9al) are close to 500 dollars. Can get Chinese knockoffs for 1/2 that price. Batteries can be repaired by replacing bad batteries cells if you have good cells from old batteries the equipment and knowledge.

Least expensive at noted are cord mowers, but you have to deal with cord. Gas mowers require more pre-maintenance due to alcohol in fuel, oil changes. If you can live with replacing batteries every few years EGO good choice for price.
