Got a 2017 Diablo. Not used much, but it's only lasting about 1hr 30 on a full charge.
When charging it's red then green. But in use it only stays green for about 15 minutes then goes orange then red.
Anything I can do or does it need sending off?

Hour and a half on high?

Mixture of high and low.

1.0-1.5h on Max is the proper run time for a MK8 Diablo.

The charge indicator seems about right - green indicates above 80%, amber is above 40% red is below 40% red flashing is below 20% or something like that. It's not dropping the beam strengh, just displaying charge status.

The Mk9 and beyond also have green and amber flashing modes, but I can't remember whether my Mk8 did.

That sounds about right for run time given the age.

My MK3 Diablo has a weird issue that when turned off the led indicator flashes constantly.

you only get an hour on high anyway with the Diablo mk8, so an hour and a half with mixed high/low sounds about right potentially, depending on your mix of use.

Also if it's been off most of the summer, it might take a couple of use/charge cycles to get the battery back to decent life.
