Just extrapolating from electric cars. If those can flare up after fire has been put out after significant time. I don't see why even larger battery banks on plane would not do exactly the same thing.
Solutions with cars is either submerge them in water or cover them with fireproof blankets. But scaling those to larger size is quite a challenge.

Maybe we'll even see some mechanism to eject batteries out as last resort, since fire is going to weaken airplane structurally anyway so it's better to do it in controlled manner.
