buy a charger for that voltage.

Just solder 12 of them together and buy a ~14.4v NiMH charger (if they're NiMH cells). I guess not a lot of people get it, battery packs that you can buy online are just a bunch of smaller cells soldered together.

Why not solder 2 groups of 6 together and hook the groups up in parallel to make a 7.2V 4800 mAh pack?

Assuming you're using these for a portable.

I agree - that sounds like a pretty good idea.
