Hi,

Am wondering if it is feasible to use a dc motor speed control to limit current from my marine engine into lifep04 battery bank?
 
Are you referring to alternator charging? If so, an external programmable regulator is the easiest approach.
 
Yes, using the alternator. The speed controller would be easier and cheaper than an external regulator if it is suitable.
Again, is it feasible to use a speed contriller to limit current flow to my lifepo4 battery bank?
 
You would need to tell us the specific unit so we can evaluate. In general using devices for applications other than intended does not result well. Another common option is a DC – DC charger which are available for reasonable money.
