I mowed fourteen thousand steps worth.
If I keep the grass short on Summer's front acre we are more fire safe, she picks up fewer ticks and my husband is less likely to fall when he can see the contours of the ground more clearly. For all of those reasons I push an old gas powered mower. The good news is that I've decided to start a battery powered mower savings stash again. Last time I ended up doing something else important with my mower fund but this time it's past time to modernize. I expect I will treat myself to an upgrade for my birthday in September.
In between mowing and other chores I finished my daughter's favorite lemon blueberry scones.
They smell so good. The big problem is that there are eight scones and only seven fit in the travel container.
I asked Summer what to do?
She thinks we should drop the orphan scone off to a friend who lives alone because there is only one scone and three of us.
She is a genius.

You will need to do your homework on getting a new lawn mower. Weight. Ruggedness. Battery life.

Here in Australia, we have gas/petrol mowers with a wider cut and also self propelled mowers - don't know about these attributes in electric mowers. SupaSwift's Big Bob has a wider cut. And I see they also have a self propelled mower.

Almost certainly electric mowers are on sale at certain times of the year. Stihl has sales in Australia from time to time.

This is a Stihl battery, wide cut mower from Australia. Skin only (i.e. no battery or charger).

It seems different Stihl mowers use different batteries. So you'd also need to check that your existing Stihl batteries work with your mower.

Both seem to get good reviews and to come with a free battery offer.
