Moto 360 is one of the most promising Android-powered smartwatches that comes with an impressive round display. It has just recently hit the shelves but is already facing a controversy. iFixit, a popular company known for releasing repair guides for latest gadgets, has completely stripped the Moto 360 and unveiled a discrepancy in its battery.

The guys at iFixit have uploaded the pictures of the internal parts of the Moto 360 on their Web site. The images show a 300mAh battery, which is suprisingly in contrast to the supposed 320 mAh battery that Motorola has been advertising.

On the dedicated page of the Moto 360, one of the features of the smartwatch mentioned was its "all day battery." According to the detailed specs link, the Moto 360 houses a 320mAh battery.

Such a discrepancy with the Moto 360 battery have upset buyers as the device does not deliver what was promised. ComputerWorld mentions that people have expressed their outrage against Motorola on Twitter and blogs.

PhoneArena's Moto 360 review states that the battery life of Moto 360 is "not so impressive." Another issue they found with the smartwatch is the unused space below the display. On the basis of the iFixit Moto 360 teardown, however, Engadget raved about the round display and inductive charger of the smartwatch.

Motorola Responds on Moto 360 Battery Issue

When Motorola was contacted on the battery discrepancy issue, they answered that the Moto 360 features a battery that offers a capacity range of 300mAh to 320mAh. Motorola states that the 320mAh is the typical capacity and 300mAh is the minimum capacity.

Motorola also said that the battery capacity range of other products such as Moto E, Moto G and Moto X are printed on the label of the battery. Since the square-shaped battery of Moto 360 does not have enough space to mention the battery range, they only managed to mention the minimal capacity on it. Motorola added that they are planning to include the typical capacity in the future.
