It may work on 6v but I don't think I'd want to try it with mine. 
You could try running the positive side of the power in through 
three or more 1N4004 or similar diodes in series, each gives a 
voltage drop of 0.3v so this would get it down to 5.1v which would 
be a lot safer. Do check the voltage of your batteries when fully 
charged though, they may give a bit more than 6V.

feed in the battery supply post this regulator, to save on 
consumption, but then getting a 5volt cell combination may not be so 
easy, and those 6v sealed lead acid are easy to come by, and 
reconable capacities are still cheap.
