We cannot tell you without more info. Here are some possible answers.
Yes. Leaving a quality charger on the battery will charge it even if the charger is a 5 or 6 amp unit. It just takes time. Maybe as much as 24 hours with a trickle charger. Warming the battery will help massively. Getting it up to 60 or 70 degrees is great for output. Warming it in the house is not good due to the emissions of hydrogen when gharging. Not a good idea.
Yes faster with a 20 to 30 amp charger. Maybe as little as two hours. (warm the battery)
Yes with a booster battery charger. That can add as much as 150 to 200 amps for short periods when starting. Do not abuse the duty cycle (time on/time cooling or it will burn up). I would charge for 20 minutes at a rate like 25 to 30 amps then try to start it. High rate charging produces explosive gasses, shut off the charger before disconnecting, or connecting the leads. Battery connection to the battery side of the starting switch at the starter and a ground next to the starter is less risky, and more direct. The cables need to be at least Two "O" in wire size to use a 6v system. they need twice the amps to start compared to a 12v. Good luck JimN

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
