I have recently replaced the battery on my Acer Aspire 5742z laptop because the OEM one was going bad (30-40min life at 100%).
I replaced the battery with a non-oem replacement battery, and for the first couple of days it went well. The battery was charging just fine, had a comparable lifespan to my original battery, no troubling signs. However, a couple of days ago it just stopped detecting it and I don't know why. It doesn't charge or anything, it's basically like there's no laptop battery at all.
The only thing that I've noticed may be the voltage, the oem was a 11.1V 4400mAh, and the replacement was a 10.8V | 5200mAh.
And just to get it out of the way, I tested the laptop with the power cord only and it still worked, so no problems with the power cord.
