Great, thanks! May I ask which cable?

Also, does the canon 540 EZ have the ability to be used as a slave?

My mistake. I thought you have a Turbo or a 2 x 2. I reread it and see you're talking about the Battery 2.

Unfortunately there is no cable for that battery to power the 580EX II.

I use the Quantum 1+ with my 580s and my Metz 58 (different cords). Its fine and I can usually shoot an entire job with one and it recycles plenty fast.
