Happened to a Martinair B767 crew flying from Europe to the US about 11 years ago. Lukely it was a daytime operation. The weather in Eurpope was not so good, and the weather on the eastern seaboard of the US was very good. They did exactly that... after the mayday call, they turned off the BATT switch until within range of Boston which is where the crew landed the jet. So is it impossbile? No will it ever happen again... hopefully not but if it does may it be in day VMC conditions.
