Default 6 Volt Power Wheel Battery

Its kinda big and heavy not sure what type of battery it is but is there any way I can charge it with a RC charger? I lost the wall charger. Or do you think that a RC battery will be OK taking the load of the Power wheels? Its a 6 Volt one not the full size one. About $60 new to give you an idea its not one of the $200+ ones

Just for reference, the Power Wheels are powered by 550s geared down ridiculously.

We had a couple powerwheels thrown in the back of the garage last summer, probably 8-10 yrs old. The batteries were garbage, so I scraped up a small old car battery and threw it in the passaenger foot area and the little nephews can now drive for the whole day on an overnight charge. A small motorcycle battery cost the same as those "powerwheels" batteries.
