Although most chargers are equipt with auto cut off when the battery is charged, the battery will only draw enough power it will take. It power is forced, it could result in an explosion. You can damage or blow up the battery.

Yes. New intelligent battery chargers incorporate a temperature sensor that monitors the case of the charging battery.When the temperature rises ,a sign of it being fully charged, the current is switched off. Ordinary chargers carry on charging after the battery is fully charged and slowly boil off the electrolyte giving the cell a smaller capacity to retain charge. In extreme cases overcharging can buckle the cell's plates causing an internal short circuit.

If you over charge a battery it could boil the electrolyte, drying out the battery's plates.

What happens to 12 volt battery with 6 volt charge?

The battery will attempt to charge the charger since the battery is at a higher voltage than the charger. Thus, the battery will simply discharge and generate heat. If you leave it plugged in long enough, eventually the battery will discharge to a point where it can maintain only 6V, where it will stay until you actually charge the battery.
