  I use the NOCO genius 5, available at Halfords and arrives about 3 days later. Trade price is £52.
  
  I just connected it to the battery terminals under the bonnet and it charged it up fine. This was after a recommendation on the RRS forums from a technician.
  
  You will need an AGM battery charger, so think CTEK, Optimate, Noco etc. not your jobby £15 charger sat in the shed from 2005.
  
  
  I highly recommend the NOCO Genius because it is tiny and has really long leads and so it easily allows the bonnet to be closed with the charger inside.

  I have the NOCO Genius 5 too. Yet to use on the Disco, but took the standard battery on my wife's car from < 25% to full in just a few hours. As you say, compact, simple and with nice long leads.
