Charging 4x is not an issue with two batteries.
Calling these machines "trash" is still extremely hyperbolic and helps no one. No solution is perfect; my parents are elderly but still enjoy the exercise of mowing the lawn; not having to clear out seasonal gas, clean out carbs, and push around heavy machines is a boon to them, so electric is ideal for them.

For a space that area you could honestly get away with a weedwhacker and leaf blower LMAO.

Better said, would the difference in battery size (7.5 here vs my 4) make up for the voltage difference? Or is that apples to oranges?
I'm still happy with mine after a few years of use, but I do miss the raw power of my old gas mower, which was noticeably higher.
Despite having the honking massive battery (I actually got the 10 amp battery I think) I ran out of battery within 22 minutes. For a third of an acre, this is obviously not enough. I should not have to charge 3 batteries to get a third of an acre done with my thousand dollar mower.
Just buy gas. These battery-powered mowers are garbage. I bought this one to replace my Greenworks mower that lasted 15 minutes on a charge.
My parents have a 1.2 acre plot on a hill, and use the a 6ah battery with an 80v kobalt SP. That makes 4 full charges to finish if it's during the growing season. I think the SP definitely affects that.
I've used gas for decades; if you don't do commercial work, I think the industry is going to go to electric for walk-behind, and then gas for anything you ride.

Watt-hours = voltage x amp-hours
So your 80V / 4ah battery has 320 Wh of energy.
The 56V 7.5ah EGO has 420 Wh
The 5ah EGO has 280 Wh
One could argue that the 80 volt system has the potential to provide more power, but understand for the same capacity battery it will run out quicker. The 56 volts is more than enough to drive the mower system. Bottom line is the EGO battery system works. I am on year 5 of my mower along with a blower and chainsaw now and would not hesitate to recommend.
My 1st gen push mower has some issues, so I've been contemplating replacing it. Having heard your more recent experience with ego, I think I will lean towards green works via Costco with their battery guarantee.
