LS14500BA is not a safe battery to use with a PV they are not protected not designed to be recharged and usually designed as a long life low current battery. They can overheat and vent toxic gas if draw is heavy and can explode if shorted.

yeah, the datasheet for the LS14500BA (http://www.saftbatteries.com/doc/Documents/primary/Cube655/LS%2014500_0909.21745d8d-2592-414f-b12e-43d66a968415.pdf) indicates that the maximum recommend continuous current output is 50mA, which is far below currents typical of e-cig usage.
