Take a look at some of these:

Do you have a specific lantern in question? If so, what are the dimensions of the current battery? Space limitations would be a concern as to what battery you could use... unless this is for some other application.

If you get one of those battery holders that takes 4D and put NiMH cells in it, you can have a 10-12AH lantern battery.
Which D-cell batteries do I need to get to add up to 10-12AH ? Thanks.
*********************************************************
Update - if the D-cell NiMH are only 1.2 volts, I'll only get somewhere near 4.8 volts total - I need the full 6 volts. The lantern size battery is 2 5/8" x 2 5/8" x 3 3/4" plus springy contacts on the end.

Must be a very small car if its battery is "2 5/8" x 2 5/8" x 3 3/4" plus springy contacts on the end."
