Exclamation Charging cable
Hi folks,

I finally got the Libra 2 a few weeks ago, really happy with it.

But, somehow, I've lost the cable. I was moving some stuff about an hour ago and something black flew past me, I can only assume it was the cable falling off the shelf above me. I've searched high and low and cannot find it.

It says USB-C on the back of the box but when I search online I keep coming across Micro USB for the Libra 2 as well as USB-C.

Which is it please and any recommendations for UK sellers of the cable? Length isn't important.

The box is correct. The charging cable for the Libra 2 is a USB-A to a USB-C cable. You might want to check Amazon UK as a source. Otherwise, you should be able to find one at a local electronics shop though that may be a more expensive solution.

Thank you! I was looking on Amazon but the reviews were terrible, cables coming apart and ends breaking off. I went to an electrical retailer.

I'll probably find the original cable as soon as the new one arrives. It's so annoying, I moved everything out of the area where it fell and it's just not there. Ugh!

An Amazon Basics USB-C to USB-C cable ot a USB-C to USB-A cable depending on which you need would do. I have one for my Libra 2. No problem at all with it.

It depends on the port on the computer and the port on the charger as to which cable you need. I have USB-C to USB-A because I don't have any chargers that have a USB-C port. I do have a USB-C port on my bluetooth receiver and on my laptop.

I don't have any chargers or a port with USB-C either so the USB-A end is fine for my plugs and computer.

I bought this one. I use it all the time and it works fine. I hated having just the one lead.
