I would like to buy a cordless drill/driver but would not be using on a regular basis (well... most of the time... infrequently). Would that do damage to the rechargeable batteries? Would it be better to only charge prior to when I know I will be needing to use it?
Any insight would be helpful. Thxs.

This is not supposed to be harmful, but it may shorten the usable battery life. The new Lithium Ion (Lion) batteries have no memory, and go full power until they die. If you are going to use it very occasionally, a corded drill might be a better choice. Corded drills have more power, are significantly less expensive, and the batteries never die or fail to accept a charge. My personal choice in cordless tools is rigid, available at home depot. If you register the tools they have a lifetime warranty on everything including batteries for about the same price as Makita, dewalt, and hitachi.

It depends on which brand of cordless drill you buy. The best thing is shop around at different stores, asking the same questions. I have a cordless drill which I use until I see the battery power is getting low, then put it in the charger. With some batteries it's best to allow the battery to be drain down to the lowest point, then recharged. I have also seen where I worked before the batteries were put in the chargers at the end of the day for usage the next day and the batteries didn't last that long. Look for the best brand that will fit your needs, also remember the cheaper the unit the less you're going to be able to relay on it, most are made for contractors that want to reduce their tool costs because of lose or have equipment taken.

Wow, those are awesome tricks. Great job :) I have 2 puppies myself, both 10 months. They run around like maniacs. But it's all a part of puppyhood! For a 7 month old puppy, the silly biting and running around is so normal. When she turns about 1 or 2 years of age. She'll be fine. As for the pooping in the house. It could be because she's nervous. It also depends how long you leave her in the cage, she could be over excited and poop in the house. You should start leaving her out more and get her used to being out. Also, everytime she poops outside, try giving her a treat, or praise her. She'll get the idea that going outside is where she's supposed to go. Hope this helps you, good luck with the pup!

most rechargeable drills will hold a charge for days, don't stick it on charge after using it for a little while, it will set the batteries, just use it till it runs down, [other words if you use it for 5 Minuit's and recharge it it will only run for 5 Minuit's] totally run it down once a month and then recharge it,

What year is it? those battery problems were worked out in the 90's if you buy a decent drill you won't have a problem no matter how you charge it.

Some cordless tools have installed an auto shut off mechanism in each charger. Check your dealers.
