It does seems to have charging leads for a lead acid battery
I dont think a program is available for the current charger to charge a lead acid battery...
what is this Pb mode for?

You can charge lead acid battery with it. But beware of the extremely corrosive acid. Do not connect your leads directly to battery, use pieces of wire you don't mind throwing away after use. Do this even if the battery terminals look clean, there will still be traces of acid.
Pb mode is to charge a lead acid battery. That's what my charger manual says. But didn't delve into it for fear of damaging either the charger or battery ... :P
The bike's battery get's fully charged during bike's servicing .. :)
For 6 volt (2v * 3 cells) Battery , Set the voltage @ 8.4v (1.4 * No. of cells) & Charge current @ 5% ~ 10% of the rated mAH
I regularly charge my batteries (SMF) using a similar charger.
