I have the Australian B&D Stealth mower (12v 36A), bought for $5 as is.
All I did was wire a large horn relay into the handle switch as a stop/go control, mounted an isolator switch on the casing for emergency use (can't be to carefull as the wife uses it) and charge it with a smart charger I already had, and replace the battery with a couple in parallel that I already had, been running for over a year now with no issues.
It's a great mower for suburban use, quiet, no smell, always starts.
Doing the above gets rid of all the original electronics so it is easy to work on in the future.
