RE: 6V with 4.8 wall wart
The voltage of the charger needs to be a bit higher (about a volt) over the battery rated voltage to peak charge a battery.
Thevoltage is what pushes the current (amps) into the battery, if the charger isonly putting out 5.4 volts then it will only ever chargeahigher voltage battery to 5.4 volts
no voltage differential equals no current flow.
