The OEM has to warranty the laptop so the last thing they are going to do is use a cheap adapter that will fry the laptop (lets not bring up HP here). I own a small PC repair business and I have seen many many laptops (and batteries) destroyed by these generic "replacement" chargers. Only ever get OEM or the brand that makes the OEM batteries, in the case of ASUS that is Delta. Now the aftermarket ones can usually be had for 1/3 to 1/2 the price so can be a better buy then OEM (but it is still a risk) In regards to aftermarket batteries, some can be garbage but most will work just fine they do have a quicker decay rate (so if it took 2 years for your OEM to have less charge, then aftermarket might only take 1 to 1-1/2 years). For longest performance, this is usually the best option. OEM is always going to be a known variable because that is what is your laptop came with and you know how it performs. My take on replacement batteries and ac chargers: You can order a new jack on amazon for $5-10, but unless you are very good with soldering iron and desoldering you will need to take it to an electronics repair shop. Without being able to actually inspect your laptop, my thought would be that your DC jack has a small fracture in it (possibly too small to see with untrained eyes).
