If I get the meanwell do I need to purchase one these pots?
Depends... on what you want to do with the PSU. If just bulk charge... you could just set it to 14.8V for a FLA battery and watch the amps, and call it good.
If you plan on adjusting the settings for absorption charging and float charging, it takes really steady hands to get the proper setting on a 270 degree pot.
If you absorption charge and top charge with your solar panel and adjustable charge controller on the solar panel daily, then it's fine to just leave the setting at 14.8V on the existing pot on the MeanWell /MegaWatt.
This is a manual setup... it's up to you to figure out what your needs are and accurately put together how you are going to get there. If you adjust the voltage a lot, the 10 turn pot mod is the way to go. If you just bulk charge, the stock pot may be just fine.
