Battery not charging, replaced and new one is not recognized.

[Remylee]

A few weeks ago my battery stopped charging.  After reading, I ordered a new battery and replaced it.  The new battery is not recognized.  I did a BIOS update and all other updates as recommended.  The laptop still does not see the battery.  Any other thoughts?  I need to be able to use my laptop without having it plugged in at all times.

Thanks!
