This confirms my suspicions. Obviously Olympus never put rapid-charge
cells in the Control Pack in the first place, which explains why they boil
away so much. I'll just have to be careful about overcharging.

Based on your description, knob-on-the-left would seem to be the variety
that I have. In my Lens Handbook from the purchase of my 50mm 1.4 waaaayyy
back in 1982, the picture of the 300mm lens shows the knob on the right,
which confused the dickens out of me. Obviously, that lens (or at least
the tripod ring) is of the older variety.
Thanks for your help.
