Onyx Boox Note - minimal charge on swollen battery

Hi,
I think it started like 10 months ago. I noticed that note taking app start freezing during writing or saving. Usually reset or attaching charger helped. Sometime device froze during startup with ugly jagged images or horizontal/vertical lines threatening with damaged screen. Fortunately - it wasn't.
Lately (2-3 weeks ago) I noticed that case isn't closing completely. First I thought - it's bend so I can bend it in opposite direction.
And then came enlightenment - there's horizontal bump visible on screen and on back.
Battery had swollen, loosing it's capacity, so charger brought device from freeze.

Now, I ordered 2 batteries from different sellers on aliexpress which should fit to my device (2 so I could diversify incompatibilty). Delivery will take around 30 days. I hope it will help - as 17$ x 2 is acceptable fix attempt.
In my country I heard only about one company which COULD fix it, but I would expect price to be close to half price of new device.

I'm skeptic about aliexpress, quality and compatibility of advertised products. Do you believe it could regain new life?
