Can a harbor freight charge controller handle more than the three 15watt panels it comes with ?

I've found they can barely handle the original panels.

I have a dead one and am looking for a schematic. There used to be one on a solar site that no longer exists. (anyone know where I can find it?)
I believe it is possible to modify the controller to handle more wattage.

Put up a pic or URL .I probably have a circuit of a more generic nature that will give you clues.

I ran the panels from 2 HF kits (90) watts through one controller without problems. But I switched to a morning star charge controller that had a built in temp. sensor/compensator, and it worked a lot better keeping the batteries healthy.
Now I use the original HF controllers for power distribution hubs and they work great for that.
If anyone knows where to buy just the HF controllers, please post a link.
