The 6 volts is used to operate the keying relay at the 'local' (to the set) end, and extra cells can be added if the line circuit has too much resistance for it to operate reliably.

Nom voltage for a LION battery is 3.6v per cell, if the circuits can handle that, then your radio will run for months between charges. Keep the rare batteries for show.
