The Snapper 82v is the way to go. The Kobalt 80v is the same thing with different branding on it but the other 82v Snapper tools are better in that they are usually designed for attachments like their regular gas counterparts.
The Ego 56v is the GOAT weed whacker but I would worry that their mower is underpowered if you have St. Augustine grass. If you have bermudagrass then you would be fine.
The Ego has more power and a longer run time than the Snapper, and well is pretty consistently the top on power and run time along its entire range of products.

My dad has a Kobalt with about .32 size lot and has never had an issue with battery running out. I think this is his 3rd or 4th year and no battery issues that I know of. He’s never replaced one, I think he has 2 though as back up so ones always charged just in case. There’s no way the second was that expensive as he’s cheap.
Given that, my new Honda mower is the tits. It has a gas shut off valve and I got the blade stop feature not knowing what it was. I only use non ethanol, but when I’m done mowing I turn the blade off, turn the gas off, and let it run for 2-3 mins until it runs out of gas. I’m not going to do that during the peak mowing season but I’ll do it in the fall and winter. I don’t see how you could ever have an issue doing this? Furthermore, it starts on like half a pull every time. Certainly that’s harder than electric but still dang easy. I may get a quart of the “pre stabilized” gas to run a 1/3 tank through or so every winter just to take care of it better.

The Ego 56v is indeed more powerful than most of the 80/82v systems out there, but my limited experience was that it struggled with St. Augustine grass. It keeps slowing the blade speed down so I had to keep stopping to let it rev up. Granted, this was a few years ago at a friend's house.

I found out a buddy had the Ego, and I borrowed his one day. Mowed the whole yard no problem. I was really surprised how much power it had and how well it cut. I also made it the whole way on the same charge (7.5ah battery).
Ended up buying the Ego mower yesterday, and I'm planning to switch my other yard tools to Ego as well.
