Pin punch and a light hammer? Not kidding, it may be tedious but quicker
than fabbing a socket that /might/ fit...

Others have suggested this secure wheel nut also, the differences are:
The NiCd cell nuts have 5 dimples equidistant (every 72 deg one
dimple) and the dimples are ball shaped, not cylinder. In fact, the
balls that engage the dimples will need to be on springs to allow them
to push in, as the top wall of the dimple curves back to seat more
than half-sphere, allowing a strong engagement of the 5 balls in the
dimples once fully seated as the side to side will hit the flat side
of the dimple and have no resulting force to push the ball back into
the tool, only when lifting/lowering the tool on the nut.
Hope this clarifies:
- nut is half-dome shaped
- 5 equidistant dimples more than half-sphere deep to engage the tool
onto the nut.
Now just to find the tool...
Oh and the original owner who installed the pack has moved out of the
area and I have precisely one old email address that has not bounced
yet.
And the vehicle owner of the past 6 or so years is not an EV'er and
just had it parked in his backyard after buying it.

I can’t say this is exactly the same, but it looks quite similar

.Alternatively, you can make careful measurements, CAD up a mating tool,
.3D print it in plastic to check the fit and to make refinements in the
.CAD model, and then have it 3D printed in metal. There are tons of
fturn-around 3D printing houses on-line.http://Www.ShapeWays.com
There is 3d imaging that will directly drop into a cad program. Not sure
where you would go but maybe and advanced machine shop? Lawrence Rhodes
