yeah, but didn't they change the battery capacity at one point and offer a
different charger for that battery? the battery type didn't change, but I
think the capacity did.
I have the wall wart charger, the one that has a big old ferrite doughnut
about 2 inches down the wire from the wallwart itself...and the wall wart is
kind of wide and flat a rectangular shape rather than a square boxy shape.

The THF6A always came with a lithium ion battery, it never came with
anything else. You could get an AA pack for it if you wanted but that was
the only other option you had.
