Engine failure & Flight Recorders

If the engines flamed out as some folks have theorized would no electrical power from the engines mean that the FDR and CVR would stop working? Is there an alternate power source for them? I think this happened on Swiss Air 111, Eygpt Air 990 and American 587, the recorders stopped before impact.

thanks.
