Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Battery Box / Battery Holder Tray – RAC00097/D

Genuine Royal Enfield battery box used in the Meteor 350 electrical / battery mounting assembly. Royal Enfield’s current genuine-parts description for RAC00097/D is “BATTERY BOX”.

In simple buyer language, this is the main battery holder box / battery tray enclosure that supports the motorcycle battery and forms part of the electrical mounting area. It is not the battery itself, not the battery cover, and not the separate battery-box clamp.

Part Identification

What Is RAC00097/D?

RAC00097/D is the genuine Royal Enfield battery box used to physically support and locate the battery within the Meteor 350 electrical assembly. Buyers may also search for this part as a battery tray, battery holder, battery carrier box, battery mounting box or battery cradle.

The factory parts diagram places base RAC00097 alongside the battery, battery-box clamp, side-panel lock bracket, battery-box grommets, tool-kit tray and other electrical mounting components.

Confirmed Compatibility

Checked Royal Enfield Meteor 350 parts books show RAC00097 – BATTERY BOX with normal quantity 1, including Meteor 350 Fireball and Supernova references.

Revision note: public model diagrams may still display older /B or /C orderable revisions, while current genuine-parts databases and export records also list RAC00097/D. This listing is specifically for the exact /D revision supplied under this SKU.

Model-Year / VIN Check

Because Royal Enfield has issued multiple suffix revisions of RAC00097, confirm the motorcycle VIN, current EPC and genuine packet before dispatch—especially when replacing an older /B or /C battery box with the newer /D revision.

This listing does not claim that every suffix is automatically interchangeable simply because the base number is the same.

Do not remove the /D suffix from Shopify SKU, stock labels, invoices or Google Shopping MPN.

What You Receive

• 1 × Genuine Royal Enfield Battery Box
• Part Number: RAC00097/D

What Is Not Included?

• Battery
• Battery-box clamp
• Battery grommets
• Battery cables
• Side panel / battery cover
• Tool-kit tray or tool kit
• Starter relay or relay bracket
• Wiring harness

When Should the Battery Box Be Replaced?

• The box is cracked, broken or distorted after an accident.
• Battery mounting points are damaged.
• The battery no longer sits securely because the box is deformed.
• Mounting tabs are broken.
• The box has been cut or modified for a non-standard battery installation.
• Corrosion or physical damage has made the existing battery support unreliable.
• The current Royal Enfield EPC specifies RAC00097/D for the repair.

Why Correct Battery Mounting Matters

The battery should be properly supported and retained so it does not move excessively during riding. An incorrectly fitted or damaged battery box can contribute to:

• Battery movement and vibration
• Stress on battery cables and terminals
• Contact with surrounding electrical parts
• Damaged wiring or connectors
• Incorrect side-panel or surrounding component alignment

Installation & Ordering Notes

• Confirm exact part number RAC00097/D before opening the package.
• Compare the existing battery box, mounting points and clamp arrangement.
• Inspect battery-box grommets and retaining hardware while the assembly is dismantled.
• Check the battery terminals and cables for damage caused by movement or previous incorrect installation.
• Do not force a battery of the wrong physical size into the OEM box.
• Route cables and wiring exactly as specified so they cannot be trapped by the battery or side panel.
• Use the correct Royal Enfield fasteners and tightening procedure.
• Confirm the battery is secure and surrounding panels fit correctly before riding.

Other Model Fitment

This listing confirms the Meteor 350 application only. Do not automatically add Classic 350 Reborn, Hunter 350, Bullet 350 J-Series or another Royal Enfield model simply because they share the J-platform engine family. Battery mounting layouts and box references can differ.

Add another model only when its exact model-specific EPC lists RAC00097 / RAC00097/D.

Ordering & Return Note

Please verify RAC00097/D, motorcycle model, VIN and battery-box configuration before opening or installing the part. Correctly supplied parts are not returnable for wrong selection, wrong diagnosis or change of mind. Wrong, damaged or missing-item claims should be reported with the required complete unboxing video within 24 hours of delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is RAC00097/D?
It is a genuine Royal Enfield battery box / battery holder used in the Meteor 350 electrical assembly.

Q: Does RAC00097/D fit Meteor 350?
The RAC00097 base battery-box reference is directly listed in Meteor 350 electrical parts books. RAC00097/D is the exact later revision supplied under this listing. Confirm current VIN/EPC supersession before replacing an older suffix.

Q: Is this the battery itself?
No. This listing is for the battery box / holder only. The battery is separate.

Q: Is this the battery cover?
No. The battery cover / external side cover is separate. RAC00097/D is the structural holder box.

Q: Does the battery-box clamp come with it?
Do not assume so. RAC00101 is a separate battery-box clamp reference unless the sealed package explicitly includes it.

Q: How many are used on one Meteor 350?
The checked Meteor 350 electrical EPC shows one RAC00097 battery box per motorcycle.

Q: What is the difference between RAC00097/C and RAC00097/D?
They are different suffix revisions of the same base battery-box reference. Current databases list both, and this listing is specifically for /D. Do not claim interchangeability without current Royal Enfield supersession confirmation.

Q: Does it fit Classic 350 Reborn or Hunter 350?
No fitment is claimed for those models without an exact model-specific EPC match. Shared J-platform architecture is not enough to prove battery-box interchangeability.
