The compatible battery for the Neuton EM 5.1 mower is one that fits into the battery holder specific to the EM 5.1 model. The context mentions a "Neuton EM 5.1 Lawnmower Battery Holder Replacement Part," indicating that the mower uses a specific battery holder designed for that model. Therefore, the compatible battery is the one designed for the Neuton EM 5.1 battery holder.
