I would imagine the flight recorders keep recording as long as there's any power left in the aircraft. So if there was a bird strike as they suspect, and if that caused a dual engine failure, the recorders should still work, right? So there has to be more to the story than a simple bird strike.

Says it in the article:

The discovery of the missing data from the budget airline's Boeing 737-800 jet's crucial final minutes was surprising and suggests all power, including backup, may have been cut, which is rare.

There has to be a lot of redundancy, yes. Batteries should keep the recorders running. The RAT should also deploy and provide power. At leat that's what I would guess. Just waiting for some of the aviation experts on YouTube to make an analysis.
