Wouldn't data centres not turn off though and therefore not be able to recharge?
Depending on how long it takes to recharge vs the discharge rate (it doesn't seem to mention recharge rate in the article) they may be able to shut down 25% of the cooling array to let it recharge while the other 75% picks up the load.
I wonder if they could just cycle the liquid out. Surely they could design something where 3/4 of the liquid is recharging all the time.
