The unit OP posted have Lithium batteries, not SLA.

That said, I don't know where you looking for batteries that they are $3000 for 4 batteries. The drop in replacements are $180 each: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Mighty-M...1003131200

I don't disagree that the original 48v SLA mowers from Ryobi are finicky, but lets not spread misinformation/misconceptions.
I bought the 54 inch last April, and I don't regret buying it. I wish it was a lower price though when I bought it (54 was about 6k). Here is my quick summary

-runs very quite, and is easy to plug and charge with rear port

- very easy to use with no gas, no oil, and no engine smell

Now...

- it does take time to learn the stick, and it isn't for everyone. It is hard to zero turn when on a slant. Requires you to almost pull back and then turn. Be prepared to do a lot of weed eating at first, because it takes time to learn precision with the stick. Once you learn, it's pretty smooth.

- it is not going to get what it advertises in mowing acres. I just looked again on the website, and it says 4 for the 54 inch. I swore it used to say 3, and I probably get about 2.5 with the right settings (level 2 speed on mower and level 1 on blades). Pretty sure the 4 they quote is only possible if you are doing a flat field with no trees or obstacles to mow around and grass is not thick or too tall from rain.

-forget about using level 3 to mow on mower speed. You will not make a straight line (for 95% of us).

-mower turns off blades at about 8% battery life remaining, so you can drive back to recharge. Sucks when you were almost done. But it charges quick so maybe take a water break and return if you were super close to finishing.

- the big batteries in the back can be hard to put in if you have bigger hands (especially the one near the seat on mine). My wife has smaller hands and did it like it was nothing because she could hit the angle to connect the plug.
Warning!
My Ryobi electric mower broke on the second season (blade won't start). The closest place Ryobi approves for warranty work is over 2 hr. drive. Ryobi's list of repair facilities shows places that haven't been approved or in business for years. Before you buy investigate who you'll get service from if needed. All the places I called won't work on Ryobi lawn mowers because of their cheap build. Stick with a brand that has a better track record.

Bought the 30" Ryobi e480 in 2020. Has the lead acid batteries. Big mistake. Batteries are now almost dead and replacements cost almost as much as I paid for the mower new. I like the convenience of electric but damn $3000 seems like a lot plus I'm an old man and not sure how I'd do with the joystick :-)

you can spend 400 on 50Ah Lipo4 battery and it will last 10 years. It takes some time to figure it out though.

We just got one about a month ago. The joystick does take some getting use to, it is pretty hard to control for precise movements. My wife who does not play video games and hates driving cars loves it. She even volunteers to mow the lawn now!

Just bought this few weeks ago and stacked military on it which lowered it by $300.

This post has a lot more comments on it https://slickdeals.net/f/17440695-ryobi-80v-brushless-riding-mowers-w-cart-bagger-or-mulch-kit-30-w-2x-10ah-batteries-2999-more-free-delivery?src=SiteSearchV2Algo1

The first assembled by home depot order I got in the lithium batteries were completely dead and couldn't be charged so I had to return it. The Home Depot order looked as if it was exposed out in the rain.

After calling Ryobi they suggested asking for the non assembled shipped by Ryobi crate from HD which I did.

I had to install joystick and seat which was extremely easy and everything worked as it should.

I found the joystick very easy to use the only cons were any kind of downhill cutting the zero turn kind of turns to slide down the hill. I think this is just a learning curve for how it operates. The other is if you turn too sharply it will rip up the yard a little. Again a learning curve.

I don't need hearing protection anymore compared to John Deere l110 and can easy hop on and off as needed while cutting the grass without having to stopping and starting a gas ride on mower.

By the time I'm done weed whacking the lawn mower is charged to 100% and ready to go again.

Reviews look rough! It consistently looks like people are receiving used or floor model units that aren't in good shape. It seems to fit with some of the previous comments.

Got mine a few weeks ago, absolutely love it. I got the 42" and it mulches my full acre on a charge with ~20% battery left. Way better than the 5 year old SLA tractor I replaced
