Cockpit indications?

I have read all the posts - in this thread and in the other 787 threads, but it has never been mentioned, which exact failure indications were present in the cockpits in the 2 cases.

In the ANA case it was reported that, "the crew received indications of battery problems, at the same time a burning smell developed on board."
OK, but which problems were displayed? Overheat? Fault? Or?
And which indications were there in the JAL case? Same as in the ANA case?
I suppose that this info is on the FDR tapes, but not published yet - but anybody knows?

Which warnings/cautions are there in the B787 cockpit regarding battery issues?
And what actions does the SOP call for?

(I have seen 3 different types of battery failure indication variations in my career: battery fault - meaning charging current outside limits (A340), battery discharge (B767) and battery overheat (F27).)
