Not fully. 6v batteries and 6v solar cells sometimes have different meanings of 6v. Fully charged the battery is probably closer to 7.4v and a solar cell is at full power only when the sun is full on the cell.Take a look at this for an example http://www.electroschematics.com/6916/6 ... l-circuit/

Yes, that is why you need some form of charge controller.
