Really "keystart"?

I read to mean a battery and starter motor and multiple attempts to
start until the battery goes flat (and can then be recharged or mower
jump started). Battery may or may not be charged when mower is
running.

Or one of the systems that has BFO spring that is wound up when the
engine actually runs but has a limited (single?) attempt to start the
engine.

Thanks for the comments. The nearest part of our bottom garden will be
60 metres from an electricity point. The furthest will be almost
double that. I certainly cannot run a supply for an electric power
mower or to charge batteries on one.

Why not? I did a similar thing some years ago when I couldn't park close to
the house and needed to use power tools. Nowadays of course, as well as the
required length of cable plus a plug and socket, a powerbreaker would be
regarded as essential.
