I like the idea of the battery model though, much less fuss than cables and does away with the need for petrol. Is the power you get from them good enough?

It depends on how tall you let the grass grow. All good battery-powered lawnmowers (Husqvarna, Stihl, Dolkita etc) are more than powerful enough for any residential work unless you let pampas grass grow wild in your backyard. If you don't feel like disposing of cutting some also come with mulching kits and self-propelled ones are available as well.
