Changing from petrol mower to cordless electric

[WTFH]

I've never heard of that brand before, looks like they have a wide range to hit the price points.
As I've said, you'll want a second set of batteries, even though you might think you don't.

I can understand your desire for an integrated charger, but the obvious tool to put that in is either a small one, or one that lives in the house. Many people have mower sheds that don't have power. If you have charger(s) set up, you want them to be easy access for all your tools, and somewhere that you can switch them off when not in use.
But I suspect these scenarios are not ones that are relevant to you.

True. I store the mower in the garage with power.

This Greenworks one might also do the job. It looks like it's based on a petrol mower platform. Slightly off-putting because, with all the mowers I've had, the steel deck has always been the thing which eventually fails.

What brand of mowers have you had where the deck has failed?
Do you live by the sea?

The only mower I've used where the deck has failed was a Honda, that spent 20 years at a house in a seaside town. I've seen other mowers looking worse for wear, but that's normally down to them being used on grass that is too damp, and not being cleaned before putting them away.

Another reason to look at Hayters. They use aluminium decks...

Do you live by the sea?

1/2 mile away. Anything steel (outside lights, gate hinges, fixings) corrodes away. I only use stainless steel screws now because stuff ends up falling apart otherwise.

It's amazing the car has endured as well as it has; a testament to Audi build quality perhaps. The Merc I had before didn't fair so well; both bodywork and underneath suffered from rust.
