Do the right thing and get a 6v battery charger.

Here's one from harbor freight:

2 amp slow charge
6 amp fast charge
Charges 12 volt batteries in 6 - 8 hrs.
6-1/2 ft. long battery leads
6-1/2 ft. long AC power cord
Equipped with ammeter and self-resetting circuit breaker
Auto shutoff in 12V mode
ITEM 45005-0VGA
$24.99

Here's another:

2 amp trickle charge rate for 12V batteries; 4 amp trickle charge rate for 6V batteries
Schumacher Electric# SC-200A
ITEM 95533-1VGA
$29.99

Alternately, if you have any leftover 'wallwart' style plug in transformers, see if you have one in somewhere in the 6v to 8v range.. AND DC.

If so, and you don't need it, clip the wire and add gator clips to it. Preferably 7.2v.. though a 6 or 6.5v one will at least get a battery up to par the longer you leave it. Since most of those are unregulated adapters, they will charge supply votlage above their ratings.. IE..a 6v adapter may kick out near 10v with no load.. IE.. once the battery charges up.. it should top of fin the 6.x range.. but will take time to trickle charge like that.
