Most listings tie the BLP989 battery model name to the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G, a 5000 mAh typical phone. BLP marks the Oppo group, which also covers OnePlus and Realme handsets. Listings name only one phone for this code, so the match is likely but not final. Read the label in your Nord CE 3 Lite before paying.
People also type it as "blp 989 battery model name". The digits matter more than the spacing: a pack marked BLP983 or BLP957 looks almost the same on a counter, yet each one has its own phone list. BLP989 is printed on the cell sticker, and the sealed Nord CE 3 Lite 5G has to be opened by a technician before it can be read.
Quick facts
Step by step
Write down the exact phone name
Open Settings, then About phone, and note the device name. If you cannot find it, type about in the Settings search bar. The Nord CE 3 Lite 5G is easy to confuse with other Nord phones.
Have the old pack label read in person
The technician opens the back and reads the line that says
BLP989. It is usually printed near the capacity and a batch mark.Compare the new pack before it goes in
Place the new pack beside the old one. The code, the shape, the length of the flat cable and the connector end should all look the same.
Check weight and print
A pack that is noticeably lighter, or has soft, smudged lettering, should be returned. Genuine labels have crisp print and a batch code.
Which phone uses the BLP989 battery model name
BLP989 is matched by listings to a single phone, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G. That is a sealed Android phone with a 5000 mAh class battery. The table gives the status of each phone people tend to ask about with this code.
| OnePlus model | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
| OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G | Listed by most sellers | 5000 mAh typical; check the old BLP989 label |
| Realme 11x | Not confirmed | No listing seen ties it to this code; it has its own page |
| OnePlus Nord CE 2 | Not confirmed | An older Nord phone with its own page |
Phones from one group often share parts, but never assume it. If a repair shop tells you that BLP989 also fits some other Oppo, Realme or OnePlus phone, ask to see the printed code on the pack that came out of that phone. The Realme 11x page and the Nord CE 2 page show what is known about those two.
Capacity of BLP989: what 5000 mAh typical really tells you
OnePlus quotes 5000 mAh typical for the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G, the BLP989 figure. One replacement listing also shows 4880 mAh next to it. That lower figure is likely the rated floor, with the rounder 5000 mAh used for marketing. Your own sticker settles which number is printed on your pack.
BLP989's voltage is not confirmed here, so no watt hour figure is given. If your label prints a voltage, take the mAh, multiply by that voltage and divide by 1000 to get watt hours. Watt hours are the fairer comparison, since equal mAh at unequal voltage gives unequal energy.
A Nord CE 3 Lite 5G's runtime depends on brightness, signal, its 120 Hz refresh setting and background apps. If you want to see what other 5000 mAh phones deliver, read the 5000 mAh phones page.
Confirming the code first, then ordering
Searching only by phone name can bring up listings for the wrong pack, since one phone name may exist in more than one version. Take the extra minute and follow this order of checks.
- Note the phone's model number under About phone.
- Ask the technician to read the printed code off the old battery after opening the back.
- Compare it letter by letter with
BLP989. The last three digits are where mistakes happen. - Check that the BLP989 plug and outline match the old cell.
Photograph the old BLP989 label before it leaves with the technician. If the wrong pack turns up, that photo settles it at once.

Codes often confused with BLP989
The BLP family has dozens of packs, and the numbers are close. Another 5000 mAh Oppo group code may not match BLP989's shape or plug, so it could fail to fit or charge.
- BLP983 differs from BLP989 in the last digit only. Its phone list is separate, so read that page before you accept it.
- BLP957 and BLP927 also look similar at a glance, and each has its own phones.
- The 8 and 9 in a worn print can look alike. Use a torch at an angle and read the digits twice.
A technician at a counter held two packs for a Nord phone, one ending in 89 and one in 83. Both were 5000 mAh on the wrapper. Only the one whose sticker matched the old pack closed the back without a gap.
Warning signs of a tired BLP989 pack
| What you see | Possible cause | Next move |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage drops quickly in a few hours | Worn BLP989 or a heavy app | Check for heavy apps first, then run a health check |
| Phone turns off while still showing charge | Cell cannot supply peak current | Have the pack tested at a service centre |
| Nord CE 3 Lite back gap or bulging screen | Swollen cell | Unplug the Nord CE 3 Lite and go today |
| Charging stays slow with the right charger | Weak pack, damaged cable or port | Try another cable, then get a test |
Before blaming BLP989, read our page on rapid drain and then run the health steps on the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G.
If BLP989 swells, runs hot, leaks or dents, it can ignite. Unplug the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G, leave the cell alone and keep it from heat until OnePlus service has seen it. BLP989 copies often print invented figures, so ask for BLP989 by name.
Fitting a new BLP989 pack the safe way
This is a sealed phone, and the back panel is held with adhesive and fine cables. Let OnePlus service or a counter with a good record open the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G. Give them the model number and BLP989 and ask them to check both against the old cell.
When a new BLP989 arrives, watch for these signs of a poor copy:
- It weighs noticeably less than the outgoing BLP989.
- The lettering is fuzzy and there is no batch mark.
- Its label promises over 5000 mAh in a pack sized for the Nord CE 3 Lite. No genuine cell that size can manage it.

Daily care for BLP989
Heat and long spells at full charge wear BLP989 more than anything else. Put the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G on a desk to charge, not under pillows or in sun, and take off a heavy case when it warms. Use its 67 W SUPERVOOC adapter or one with the same rating. Swap a cable at once if the plug end gets hot. If you game on the phone while it charges, expect more heat and faster ageing.
Frequently asked questions
Which phone has the BLP989 battery model name?
Most replacement listings match BLP989 to the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G, with 5000 mAh typical. Only the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G appears in listings, so read your old cell's code.
How many mAh is the BLP989 battery?
Listings give it as 5000 mAh typical. One listing also shows 4880 mAh, which is probably the rated value. Your pack's sticker shows the figure that applies to it.
Is BLP989 the same as BLP983?
No. BLP988 and BLP990 differ by a digit and serve other phones. Do not swap them just because the capacity looks alike. Compare the full BLP989 code and its plug.
Is BLP 989 with a space the same battery?
Yes, people type BLP 989 with a space, but the label prints it without one. Search either way, then match the digits on the label.
Can I replace the BLP989 battery at home?
Not a good idea. The Nord CE 3 Lite is sealed, and a damaged BLP989 can overheat or ignite. OnePlus service or a well rated repair counter should handle the swap.
How can I tell a fake BLP989 pack?
Low weight, smeared lettering, a missing batch line and a figure above 5000 mAh all mark a counterfeit BLP989. Lay it beside the old BLP989 to compare.
