Check ctek website, I have both the 3 (mxs3.8)and 5 (mxs5) ampère chargers, mxs 5 is a bit faster and more specific for the start stop batteries (agm). Bought the 5 amp as the 3 amp was good for the disco 4, but too slow for the disco 5, but that’s personal. If I remember well these have a 5 year warranty and the higher amp chargers only 2 years (but check locally of course). Wouldn’t give extra money for the mxs5 with the tester as I doubt I would use it and have normal testers as well at the house. The 5 amp is fast enough and cheaper than the heavier chargers.

I have a CTEK MSX5.0 test&charge which is a multi stage charger / conditioner, this has a max output of 5A. You can leave this connected to the battery even when full so good when not using the car for a while. It is fine for a D4/D5 battery. I would have thought it would do the battery in your RR as well, might take a bit longer to charge.
