One power supply I have used for my packet system, which is a floated on gel
type battery was to use a 12V regulator IC 7812 & offset adjustment to get the
O/P up to 13.5V which is the max for gel types in float use.

Because it is for a float battery & I don't want any back discharge on no mains
I put a 1A diode in series with the battery.
A variable R in the common leg of the regulator (multiturn say 10K?) will vary
the O/P voltage as the regulator puts a constant current (typically 50uA) out
on the common leg.
The regulator I/P needs to be at least 18V DC for the max 1A O/P & the
regulator will need a heatsink (insulation kit?), so the transformer (18V AC),
bridge & cap need to be able to supply this.
The 0.1uF cap across the regulator O/P are for stability.
For 6V battery, use a 5V regulator IC 7805, & adjust for 6.95V.
For much less current than 1 Amp use 78L12 or 78L05 for 100mA Max. All
regulators of this type are current limited just over there maximum current,
they also have thermal shutdown.
