Noone had any advice about running Cyclone II based boards off rechargeable batteries? Is there something I dont know where it's a bad idea?

I haven't worked yet on battery powered FPGA system, but I would recommend that you try to keep the current consumption as low as possible in your design (being battery powered). When powering from a battery, you will also have to consider FPGA power up in-rush current requirements, which can affect more when the battery is partially drained.
