Also, have a charged spare battery ready so that you are never without power.

Probably you would just need to install the handle. I would be pretty sure they would be much lighter than a gas powered one.

You can get corded lawnmowers too, if your yard is tough to cut. I don't like corded equipment, because you have to make sure the cord doesn't get in the way. But they are powerful (and 50 feet is not too much).
