They still held a charge a few years ago.

Serious question: Are they any good for anything now, going on 12 years later?
Not really. The version of RMSDK is (I think) equivalent to ADE 1.7.2 and they only display left justified. Slow and they can be even slower with hi-res images. Only 800x600 and not as much contrast. Plus, the battery could be not great.
