The Makita aftermarket batteries I have gotten were not very good.
I am a big fan of electric (battery) mowers but when you need 6 batteries, $500 each does hurt. Almost makes sense to just buy a second mower and have spare parts. I did that for some of my previous battery mowers.
I now have a Makita self propelled battery walk behind mower and love it. No hearing protection really needed. I need 6 batteries to do the 1.5 - 2 (?) acres that I use it on but at $50 each for the real ones, it is not so bad. It is nice that it takes the batteries my tools use so I get more bang for my buck. But comparing what a walk behind needs vs a zero turn is definitely an apples to oranges comparison.
