I have extra charging cables if you need one. Which one for the Skycontroller II? I can ship to you are you in US ?

Thanks very much for offer of the cable Ironsky.

Unfortunately I am in the UK, as far north as you can go. I have been on phone to supplier today and they are hopefully going to try and resolve this on Monday, but not too sure they can unless they start opening boxes to look for compatible cable. The lead supplied has the 4 pin connector but the charger has 5 pin socket on it.

That's the lead. To be fair to the supplier I only received it yesterday and phoned them this morning but their tech department don't work on a Saturday so they will get in touch on Monday. Now you have posted the photo I know exactly what I need so I will phone them as I need to speed the process up by either getting a lead same as the one in your pic or a charger with 4 pin socket. Funny thing is I have ordered a battery plus charger from Parrot and if their images are correct it looks like it will have the 4 pin socket on the charger but having just re-read the description it says it has 5 pins which makes me think it will be the Power charger which means it will be no use for my 2700 mAh battery.

Are you saying the 5 pin charger will not charge the bebop 2 power battery? Or the 5 pin will not charge the 2700 battery?
Because what I got was the 5 pin charger and the 2700 battery.
I will admit that I do not use the supplied Parrot charger to charge my bebop 2 batteries though. I only use it for charging the controller.
I use a modified cable and an rc balance charger for my bebop 2 batteries.

I am thinking the 5 pin charger is for the power battery which is 3500 mAh and Parrot seem to supply or did supply a different charger with lesser output for the 2700 mAh battery. On their website it seems to be a 4 pin charger with the 2700 mAh battery, however what they ship may be totally different. I don't know if the Power charger would damage the smaller capacity battery.

Bebop 2 saga still ongoing, on the point of sending it back as company I bought it from can't help me. Parrot looking in to it at the moment but I am not willing to wait another 2-3 weeks to get flying and that's if I get lucky and they come with a lead or charger.

Correct
