Who McLaren?
I’ll sell you the same one with an official Duc decal on it for less than the 4RE one
maybe OP should upgrade to a lightweight battery and then buy the appropriate charger for it

CTEK is gold standard, used by all the major OEMs.
The above is great because it does both lead acid and lithium batteries.

Aren’t ya better off to get charger that is specific to your batt type?
Let me be clearer. Apologies.
CTEK is what many major luxury car manufacturers use. Rolls-Royce, McLaren, etc. buy CTEK and rebrand it with their name, then up charge for it. To me, if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me. For what it’s worth, I also bought CTEK comfortably based on lots of other positive feedback on the forum.
I have two CTEK tenders that I really like and with which I’ve never had any problem. YMMV.
That said, I’ve also had Deltran Battery Tender Jr. and never had any problem with that, though I have read about others who have.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with either manufacturer. I’m just sharing my experience. I would buy CTEK again but if I wanted to save some money and found a Battery Tender product that suited me, I’d try that too. I do really like the CTEK Powersport charger I highlighted above as it is made for motorcycles and will handle both lead-acid or lithium batteries. You tell the tender which battery you have and it applies different logic to accommodate. It seemed like a no-brainer as I currently have a stock battery but envision getting a lithium sometime.
Sorry for any confusion. I hope that helps!

I like the flexibility to use if I upgrade to lithium later
