I found this on web (see last paragraph), is it true? As you can see I am doing extensive research, trying justify a $500 purchase for a "green mower" when other manufactures are between $50-$100 dollars cheaper and they have been around for years (Greenworks and Kobalt; they both make a 20" mower).
In my search for a new lawn mower I am factoring in future purchases for other tools I can use the batteries with. All of the above mentioned manufacturers offer other tools of which the the battery is interchangeable with, such as pole saws, hedge trimmers, chainsaws, string trimmers, blowers/vacuums and string trimmer/edgers. Your product line is not near that complete yet.

Most battery-powered push mowers are best suited to a postage-stamp-size lawn, but packing the first-ever 56-volt lithium-ion battery, the Ego LM2001 can handle up to three-quarters of an acre of grass. The mower's 19.5-inch-wide blade spins at 3,300 rpm, cutting up to 45 minutes per charge; a full recharge takes just 30 minutes. An LED headlight means you can also use this quiet mower after dark, but the best trick of all is revealed when you're done cutting: The collapsible folding-handle design lets the mower sit up for storage, so it hugs the wall and saves you valuable garage-floor space.
