My boat has two separate battery banks: a 24 volt house bank and 12 volt starter battery with isolated Negatives. I've recently installed a Skylla-TG 24v 100 Amp charger for the house bank. If I connect the 12v starter battery to the second output, will this create a bridge between the negatives and defeat my isolation?

The second output should be 24v also, so connecting a 12v battery to this would not be good.
Yes this would also defeat the isolation.
you could use an isolated 24/12v converter to doe the job.
Mike,
Thanks for your response. I should have been more clear in my question. The Skylla-TG's second output is 12v for this purpose but irrespective of that, I think your answer is correct. The Skylla bridges the negative on the output side. I've come to the same conclusion; use an isolated 24/12v DC - DC charger. I wish I knew this before I purchased the Skylla.
