Are newer batteries available with longer run times than the original that came with my Dyson 8 Absolute? Thank you

Not from Dyson. I received my “new” ($150+) V8 replacement battery last Thursday and it is a dud-- 4 blinking red lights and will not charge. I tried to use the online chat help and spoke with “Abdul” who was a complete idiot in the CSR world. After 30 minutes having circular conversations he was going to give me a 20% discount and said I needed to buy a new body (the motor/handle section). WTAF?! I’m sitting here now and can plug the older battery in and get blue lights; but, the “new” battery just blinks red. Anyway, just ranting before I attempt to get hold of someone at Dyson and get a replacement for the replacement.

Hi
As you know the Dyson V8 machines have a run time of up to 40 minutes, should you experience a reduced run time you could order a spare battery.
I'll drop a link below to a conversation from other owners that may be of interest, should you wish to upgrade to our latest technology with a longer run time:

I had just re-shared this article on another thread there, but it’s a good read if you have a cord-free machine. There’s some great tips here to help you maximize the run time you get on your Dyson.
