The charger that comes with a Pro 2 camera will not charge an Ultra camera...

 

Ultra uses a magnetic charging solution that is not compatible with Pro 2. For more information, take a look here: What is the magnetic charger that came with my Arlo Ultra or Pro 3 camera?

It does here.

 

After all, the adapter itself is a standard USB.

 

Ultra, Pro 2 and Pro 3 all work.

Not quite.  The pro-2 adapter supports quick charge, the others don't.  Though that won't affect this particular scenario, the ultra adapter won't quick-charge the Pro-2 camera
