Online link is full price ($499) but here's how to find the stores that have these on clearance:
Click where it says "available at (store location)" and it will show you a list of locations, then look for where it says "On Clearance In Store" and also check the stock while you're at it. It should be $399 in store (look for the yellow tag).
In my case "limited stock" - there weren't any on the floor (at one store) and at another store I went to it showed 4 in stock though only 1 box was on the floor (after I bought mine it showed 3 stock, maybe in the back).
Consumer Reports "CR Recommended" with a score of 83

Think $100 for the 6aH batteries each (2x) and $200 for the mower.
They aren't as great as the Ryobi OEM but a HELL of a lot cheaper.
This is one MF'ing expensive way to get additional batteries.

But seriously, aftermarket lithium ion batteries can be quite dangerous. They can have low quality cells or poorly assembled packs that can't handle the current demands. An unreliable BMS could allow the cells to charge/discharge to a dangerous level. There's plenty that can go wrong, and with lithium ion, this can end with a pretty nasty fire. There's good reason I actively avoid generic Li-Ion batteries.

There's THOUSANDS of these being sold every day, and you don't hear stories about them blowing up/catching fire.
Back when laptops had removable batteries, I bought "generic" replacements ($25) vs Dell branded ($75) without any issues. SAME THING WITH RYOBI type batteries.
READ THE REVIEWS (on Amazon). If these things are "so dangerous", there should be lots of reports of "a pretty nasty fire".
ITS LIKE CHANGING YOUR OIL. No one says "you have to go to your dealer to change your oil, since 3rd parties can't be trusted to do it right".
Do you ONLY go to your dealer to get your oil changed?

You sure place a lot of faith on nameless knockoffs. These are Li batteries. They catch on fire it's a big deal.
