I have recently aquired a Commodore B17 mower. It has a battery starter, and the battery is dead. Is this a rechargable battery, and if so what voltage and other settings should I look for on a charger. Would be very grateful if anybody has some advice on this.

Yes, it is a 12 volt SLA battery that is rechargeable. Any 12 volt charger with SAE leads should work. If the battery will not take a charge, you will need to replace it. You may have a hard time finding a new OEM battery, but should be able to adapt a standard 12 volt 5 Ah battery, which is the correct size to fit into the battery box.

Dear Mike. Many thanks for your prompt reply. I have a 12v charger so will give it a go. One other question that you may have some advice on.
The throttle cable needs to be changed. I have sourced the cable, but I am unable to split the top and bottom parts of the actuator. I have attached a picture . Any advice gratefully welcomed.

That little red piece might be some sort of latch that you can press to release it.

Thank you Mike. Can't understand why the designer just didn't use a screw !
