Mike, Amazon are doing the Noco genius 5 for £60 at the mo, the rule of thumb when picking a charger is to take 10% ah rating of your battery and that's the maximum advisory for us with 60/65ah batteries that would work out at 6amps rating (only an advisory) the Noco genius 5 has max 5 amp output.
I plumped for the ring 808, that has 4-8amp selectable outputs it came in at around £35, the ctek has overheating issues and also mode button sticking issues.
Hope this helps a little, I'm sure other peeps can give some good advice also
If you do decide to go for the ctek Costco have this for £89 it has the protective bumper and comfort attachment that has the traffic light LEDs also has a power bank for usb device

Will check them out, had read about sticking buttons on ctek, been running around loads today with everything switched off and still getting messages, not had any for approx 8mthsST Line X 155 Agate Black with comfort pack plus spare wheel( sold 
)
)When at garage this morning with brakes asked if they had many battery issues generally, reply was loads across all ford cars, they think the stop, start batteries fitted and not having normal alternators is the cause???

) you cannot top them up and they can boil dry if they are overcharged, most smart chargers won't do that but better erring on the safe side Ford Puma ST Line X 155 Desert Island Blue
