I am currently looking at solar lighting but want to stay cheap, very cheap. I found a little 5 watt solar panel and I want to use its’ power for a few low wattage 12v DC lights. Can I rig this to a number of cheap solar charging AA batteries rather than buying a much larger solar battery?

you would need 8 AA batteries, and hood them all together to run 12v lights, but I am sure that it could be done.
or you could pick up a good car battery and do it easier.
maybe one from the wreaking yard.
