I'm not a fan of these purely hypothetical questions. Why make it easy and take the NG? Take a 737 classic, 30 minute battery. Same rules apply.
The battery will die, probably before you know it (don't count on 30 minutes)... Still confused by people saying you can "fly" when the battery dies. Just pray you have a moon to help you out with your manual trim.
If it happens, you are not flying, you are trying to survive in the best possible way and you either die, or you become a living hero.
