Can Smart Solar Mppt 100/20 load output work as an Aux lead acid battery charger?

Hi I want to leave my solar panels to maintain the charge in the house battery and the start battery on my boat while in storage. currently only connected to house battery.

In the manual it refers that the Load output can use the Battery life algorithm , does this mean I can connect it directly as intelligent maintenance charger for 100ah 12v starter battery?

The MPPT is not a charger, the load output will function as a normal load output with the added benefit of being able to turn on and turn off when required. Would not recommend doing this at all, you need a DC to DC charger.
