Hi Lee If it was a Ni-Cd or NiMH I'd say go ahead but Li-ion need special chargers that monitor both the temperature and the voltage. If the battery gets too hot it'll explode. It would be safer to build a dc charger using one of the commonly availible charging chips or modify your battery charger to take dc and hook the solar panel up to it.
