What tool is used to remove these nightmares. Looks like a star wrench but was told that it is a "special Tool"
Any thoughts??
Thanks

Just an every day TORX .. I forget the exact size but it's a common one.

They are torx screws. You've got many more in addition to the battery box (interior trim, skid plates, etc. etc). You need to add a set to your tool box and you need a set of torx drives to use with an electric reversable drill. $20 -$30 for both sets? Use a drill and bit on the battery box or it will take you 15 minutes and you'll have some pretty sore forearms, they're in there tight and long.

When I took my battery cover off for the first time I used a torx on a 3/8 drive rachet.......after 10 minutes on 1 screw I could not believe how long these damn things were, so I grabbed a drill..................................

Yup get out the Dewalt and the torx bit. Have fun I striped two of mine but ohh well. They are a little easier after removing them the first time.

A bit of advice here depending on what climate you live in. I would coat the threads with a little Never-Seize as they tend to get crudded up and come out with a little difficulty the second time around.
