One general observation - it's not advisable to leave batteries completely discharged for too long. They can fail to charge properly if left flat.
This is the best advice in the world. Li-ion batteries have a protection circuit, and if you leave them completely discharged the cells stop providing power to that circuit, which causes the battery to refuse accepting a charge. This can be fixed, but not with any consumer equipment, so it’s usually new battery time.
If you’re packing the kit up for the winter make sure it and any spare batteries are fully charged.
I've just been reading the reviews of cordless mowers on Which. The Gtech actually got a poor review, which surprised me. My neighbour is fussy to say the least, and generally is the type who moans about having nothing to moan about, but she's very happy with her mower and hasn't experienced any of the problems Which raised.
I use a modern gtech, and I loathe it. Not powerful, doesn't last long. Will not even do a small front and back garden. Big, unweildy, and everytime I go to use it, I lament the old corded one. It was a gift, so I have to be seen using it and smiling. But I'd personally love to bin it.
I have a Gtech and find it useful, I do have an Electric as back up but unless the grass gets really long and congested don't need to use it, I have a large area of grass, so it is really put through its paces, one charge covers the whole area, the blade is the thing I don't applaud have to sharpen it now and then.
We bought a Worx mower in the summer and we are really pleased with it. We don't have a large lawn but for an average town garden it's good. Ours came with two batteries.

I also have worx but not satisfied as you are. How much with two batteries??
So far greengardenist hasn't advertised, although a warning about doing so doesn't go amiss. Their comment in this thread is helpful but I do wonder about the one referring to onion planting in California!

Batteries also don’t like cold weather, so we keep ours indoors.
