The cost of the tube of glue will probably be greater than the total
lifetime output of electricity of such a small panel. Quite a lot of the
ones on garden lamps go bad after less than two years.

And without a series diode the low grade silicon of a cheap PV will
probably ruin the battery it is supposed to be trickle charging.
