I found one here : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3295...4ccb3e5fab7Wqb

I made the order. I will update this post as soon as I get it.
length/width of aura one battery are same, but thickness of the one i have is around 2.5mm(even though its marked as 1.5mm). 3.5mm thick doesnt fit(tried)
So if theyre really interchangeable you might be able to get away with 2.5mm thick one, assuming kobo left 1mm leeway for the thickness. The one you ordered should be 0.7mm thick judging by the number in front, but as we see in my example with aura one , might be bit thicker.

Edit:
BTW word of caution, be careful when opening your forma. On the aura one which uses same hzo waterproofing as forma, there were glue blobs over the flex cables and there was one glued stuck to the cover, same could happen with your forma.So peak under the hood to make sure nothing is on the cover before you take it all the way.

Previous owner managed to rip the flex cable out of the socket due to this and did some luckily minor damage to it, but it can be bad. Also dont use sharp objects to remove the glue from the cover, as another mistake that was made on the aura i now have, is that because of the position of it, the flex cable that was glued to the cover was punctured with i assume sharp object, or maybe it cracked when being ripped off together with the cover but i doubt this. So use credit card or a plectrum for glue removal.

Edit2: Ok, just remembered that you already opened your forma, so im bit late with the warning . Either way good to have it here as a cautionary tale for someone else.
