Do you have existing battery powered tools that could be used with the mower. If not, choose something that you could potentially add to in the future. Ryobi is popular because of their extensive range of tools that run from the same battery system.
That's one drawback. I've got a couple of Ryobi 1+ items but the mower I'm looking at is 36v lithium.

They make a (cheaper) 1+ mower but it's a narrower cut and the battery only lasts for 30min compared to 60min.

I checked out the price for the 36v lithium batteries and chargers, expensive little suckers aren't they?
