Default Is it possible to modify this charger?

OK guys so here is the idea. I recently purchased two 2400 mAh Li-po's. The only chargers I have are two of these EK2-0851 E-Sky balancing chargers. They work GREAT for balancing and charging my bateries but their output is only 0.8 amps. which could take 3.5 ish hours to charge the batteries. So how can I modify the output of these charges to someting like 2.0 amps? Or maybe 1.8 amps. Just anything greater than 0.8. Any suggestions on how to do this would be greatly apperectiated. Yes, I'm pretty good at soldering and understanding basic electronics.

Thanks,

O, and if anyone is looking got a decent TREX 450 clone I just finished building and flying this one from xheli http://www.xheli.com/exi-450-arf-rc-helicopter.html. Trex like heli for $107 shipped.....LIFE IS GOOD. Don't forget to search for a cupon code for a discount on shipping fees.

It might be programed into an IC so that would be hard to change. If they use a potentiometer to change the output current then it probably wouldn't be that hard to change if you had a multimeter. It is hard to know without schematics and know what exactly they programed in the the IC's. If you plan on doing this hobby for a long time I would just get a good adjustable charger.
