Can not access output variables for battery

I get the following warning:

The following Report Variables were requested but not generated -- check.rdd file * ~~~ * Either the IDF did not contain these elements, the variable name is misspelled, * ~~~ * or the requested variable is an advanced output which requires Output : Diagnostics, DisplayAdvancedReportVariables;
*** Key=, VarName=ELECTRIC STORAGE DEGRADATION FRACTION, Frequency=TimeStep *** Key=, VarName=ELECTRIC STORAGE CHARGE FRACTION, Frequency=TimeStep
*** Key=, VarName=ELECTRIC STORAGE OPERATING MODE INDEX, Frequency=TimeStep *** Key=, VarName=ELECTRIC STORAGE BATTERY CHARGE STATE, Frequency=TimeStep *** Key=, VarName=ELECTRIC STORAGE CHARGE POWER, Frequency=TimeStep

*** Key=, VarName=ELECTRIC STORAGE DISCHARGE ENERGY, Frequency=TimeStep *** Key=*, VarName=ELECTRIC STORAGE THERMAL LOSS ENERGY, Frequency=TimeStep

I have defined a battery (as in the picture below) and compared with the example file ShopWithPVandBattery.idf. I wonder why I can not access these Outputs defined under "ElectricLoadCenter:Storage:Battery" in InputOutputReference image description
