Well it seems it is a non-issue for Boeing because they took into account a possible battery fire and say the airplane can stay aloft with a full-blown battery fire. presumably for the full ETOPS time frame.

Somehow this does not give me a warm and cozy feeling. Have they really found the worst case fire scenario, including damage to other electrical systems, overload of the remaining system, spread etc.
