Cordless mower that cuts to the edge?

Last year I bought a Greenworks 40 cm cordless mower after seeing it recommended in a few online comparisons. However, it is difficult to manoeuvre around curves and does not cut to the lawn edge as well as my previous mower, a Bosch corded. Can anyone recommend a cordless mower that cuts to the edge? (It would be a bonus if the batteries were interchangeable with strimmers and hedge trimmers from the same manufacturer)

    We have a Viking PETROL model that, by keeping the wheels running right along the edge of the lawn, actually cuts to the edge.  This is because the cutting deck is wider than the wheelbase (Just).  Having said that, the power source should be immaterial in this respect.

    We have a fleet of electric mowers here and i took a few home to try out. Like you i had great difficulty cutting along my lawn edges as the decks weren't wide enough so the wheels ended up falling into the bed before the edge got cut. As they're light i ended up clumsily levitating the mower along the edge to get the desired cut.

    I concluded that the problem was the lack of rear roller as these add stability. Hence i've stuck with my enormous (too big) petrol Hayter until an actually decent electric mower comes along... 

    Never seen an electric cut a lawn as good as a petrol roller or cylinder mower.
