Just asked my dealer why Part 11.9 of owners manual suggests that a battery conditioner is 'supplied with the car' when there isn't one (probably cut out to save a few bob). Might get one FOC therefore, or might not!
In meantime just wondering which is best for the DB9. I understand that CTek are the same as AM ones but wouldn't want to run the risk of a warranty refusal for whatever reason.
Anyone tried/recommend one?

The Cteks are excellent. I have the MXS 5.0 and I believe some have the 7.0. The AM charger is also made by Ctek.

Another vote for the CTek. I've had several other brands but the CTek's ability to cycle/condition the battery and bring it back from near death (if you are an idiot and forget to connect it for a couple of months) is really good. The others have struggled with really low batteries.
