Well, according to your scenario, both engines have flamed out.

30 minutes of battery power (if accurate) will be more than enough for the remainder of the flight...err...glide - and the least of your worries.

Air Transat 236 - 19 minutes between final engine flameout @ 34,500 feet and landing.

Air Canada 143 ("Gimli glider") ~18 minutes between flameout @ 31,500 feet and landing.
