I would stick w/ gas for now unless it is on its last leg because in the last 2-3 years they have become much better but the battery situation can still be sticky. I would say in 2-3 years they may become mainstream but know these won't last 20 years like a gas mower and if a battery goes it could be hundreds of dollars. And they will go. If you have 0.5 acre or more I would be real cautious. Purely my opinion.
Money-wise it is no comparison gas wins by a mile. Now if you have excess cash and an environmental bent (or live in Cali which is outlawing everything) then you may be swayed. 100%, I have moved to all electric because I tired of the gas/fluid issues and also I have an environmental leaning but that is me.

Your refurbished deal with 2- 6amp batteries and self propelled would be tempting... but at the moment, not finding anything even close to that on eBay. Open box is $585 and new is $687.
Direct Tools [directtoolsoutlet.com] does have the refurbished 40v, 21" self propelled with battery and charger for $279 delivered... but no mention of the battery amperage other than it may vary.
Meanwhile, refurbished vs blemished vs new is the ongoing quandary. If refurbished was as good as new, one might conclude they would have the new 3 year factory warranty in a factory box, instead of one year warranty with little to no protection in shipping... I guess you are supposed to expect 'blemishes' with refurbished that apparently is not supposed to last as long.
We have bought blemished from Direct Tools [Outlet] that have arrived as new, but and although tempted, refurbished has been hit and miss for everyone. One of these times, even 'blemished' may also become a reality.
And then there is the easy exchange at a box store.
Don't they both sell on eBay from time to time? There is also a Direct Tools and perhaps others that sound synonymous. It can be confusing... at least for me that needs to double check who the real seller is. eBay sellers get by with vague descriptions as a so called auction site that today, has very few actual auctions.
Someplace down in the fine print will often be 'battery and charger sold separately" for what was a kit now in 'open box.' There excuse is always that eBay automatically puts in the main description... that came from the number they included.

This is my second battery-powered mower. Love it.

Like another poster above, I have 1/4 acre and it can do the entire lawn on a single charge, but if I let my grass get too high, it sometimes doesn't complete the job at once.
Only complaints I have with mine is the pull out knobs that allow the handle to fold down have a pin that hold them in place that would frequently fall out. I had to eventually replace them with small cotter pins so they would stay in place. The other complaint is the mulch plug/bag have to be seated just right or the mower won't start. But those are minor issues compared to changing oil, replacing filters, and having to run to the gas station.
Edit: I have a slightly different model than this one:

So my comments might not be exactly right for this particular mower.

If you can't get a cotter pin in, I also found that wrapping around the pin with either tape, a zip tie, or a velcro cable tie keep the pin in place. Just make sure the lever can release.
