For the Nord CE 2 5G, model IV2201, the oneplus nord ce 2 battery model name printed on the pack is BLP903. OnePlus markets it as a 4500 mAh dual cell unit; repair sellers sometimes write 2250 mAh with 7.74 V instead, quoting the pair of cells rather than the total.
The Nord CE 2 charges at 65 W, which is why OnePlus used two cells in series. That design also means a generic single cell battery cannot replace it.
Quick facts
How the OnePlus Nord CE 2 battery model name compares across the Nord CE line
| Phone | Code | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Nord CE 5G | BLP845 | 4500 mAh |
| Nord CE 2 5G | BLP903 | 4500 mAh, dual cell |
| Nord CE 2 Lite 5G | BLP927 | 5000 mAh |
| Nord CE 3 Lite 5G | BLP989 | 5000 mAh |
The names are close, the packs are not interchangeable.
Two cells, two ways to write the capacity
Two 2250 mAh cells in series give 7.74 V and store about 17.4 Wh. A hypothetical single cell would need 4500 mAh at 3.87 V to match it. OnePlus markets the 4500 mAh figure; repair listings often print the per pair rating. Neither is wrong. A replacement printed 2200 mAh is quoting the minimum. More detail on our BLP903 code page.
Avoiding an incompatible BLP903
One buyer review for an aftermarket BLP903 reads simply "not compatible", and the seller's advice is to check the phone's model number first. Indian Nord CE 2 units read IV2201 under About device. Buy a pack that names IV2201 and shows the 7.74 V line.
A wrong or poorly made two cell pack can overheat at 65 W. Should the CE 2 turn hot on its 65 W brick after a battery job, pull the plug and take it back to whoever fitted the pack.
Charger and cable for the Nord CE 2
Only the OnePlus 65 W adapter and its red cable unlock the full charging speed. Other USB C chargers work at lower power, which is gentler on the pack and fine for overnight use.
Battery life on the Nord CE 2
A healthy BLP903 gives most users a full day, with the 90 Hz AMOLED screen being the largest drain. Thanks to 65 W charging, a top up from low to full takes around half an hour, so many owners never let it run out. When that half hour stretches to an hour with the original charger, the pack or the charging port is wearing.
Replacing the battery
The Nord CE 2 has a plastic back held by adhesive. An OnePlus service centre is the safest route because the two cell pack and its protection board need careful handling. Independent fitters should show you the old BLP903 label before they start. Other OnePlus and Oppo group codes are collected in the BLP family list.
Looking after a fast charging pack
SUPERVOOC has safety layers built in, but warmth remains the main thing that wears a BLP903 down. Rest the CE 2 on something hard while it charges, skip plugged in gaming in summer heat, and never leave it in a parked car. If you do not need a fast top up, any slower USB C charger will also work and produces less heat overnight.
