recycle old battery lawnmower

hey so i picked up one of these that was on the curb of my neighbors with a free sign:
Black & Decker Power Tools
Battery - 24 Volt, 17-amp hour, sealed lead/acid type deep discharge battery
Motor - 24 Volt, 1200 watt permanent magnet electric motor
Cutting Path - 19 "
Height Adjustment - 1 Touch
Weight - 76 lbs
Cutting Heights - 1 1/2-3 1/2 "
Ideal Property Size - up to 1/3 Acre
(that is optimistic in my experience)
Mulching Capability - YES
Charge Time at 60% - 4 hrs
Charge Time at 100% - 10 hrs

it does not have a charger and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what i can do with the parts (motor and 30amp controller) I don't want to buy a charger because i already have a plugin plus 2 gas mowers. I was thinking of a electric bike setup?? Could i use the motor in a wind turbine??? please give me some ideas
