固态电池公司 QuantumScape 于周四宣布推出其首款针对数据中心的产品。
Solid-state battery company QuantumScape on Thursday announced its first product for data centers.
重要意义：这是该公司业务实现多元化，从汽车市场拓展至人工智能、国防及其他应用领域的一个关键时刻。
Why it matters: It's a key moment in the firm's diversification beyond the automotive market and into AI, defense and other applications.
推动背景：该公司正在推出面向人工智能数据中心的 QS PowerBlock，主打高功率密度、长运行时间以及比传统锂离子电池更高的安全性。该设计可进行配置，以适应各种规模和格式的数据中心设备。
Driving the news: It's unveiling the QS PowerBlock for AI data centers, touting high power density, long runtime, and greater safety than conventional lithium-ion batteries. The design can be configured to work with a large variety of data center equipment sizes and formats.
惊人的数据：QuantumScape 在描述该技术的低火灾风险时表示，第三方测试表明，这些电池在远超 300°C 的条件下仍能保持稳定性。
Stunning stat: The cells have demonstrated stability in conditions far above 300°C in third-party tests, QuantumScape said in describing the tech's reduced fire risk.
该公司表示，这远高于传统锂离子电池在 180°C 左右就会发生“灾难性热失控”的温度。
That's vastly higher than conventional lithium-ion batteries that can go into "catastrophic thermal runaway" around 180°C, it said.
首席执行官兼总裁 Siva Sivaram 在一次采访中表示：“由于采用了 QuantumScape 电池，数据中心的保险投保变得更容易了。数据中心的审批也更容易了。仅因为电池更安全，你就能将审批时间缩短数月。”接下来：Sivaram 表示，目前正与潜在客户进行洽谈。
"Insurability of the data center gets better because of the QuantumScape battery. Permitting of the data center gets better. You can shave months off of permitting just because the battery is safer," CEO and president Siva Sivaram said in an interview. What's next: Sivaram said talks are underway with potential customers.
他说：“任何有 GPU 机架的地方，这个都可以紧挨着它放置，我预计它将到处被使用。但首先，它可能会进入大型训练数据中心。”
"Anywhere there is a GPU rack, this can go right next to it, and I expect that it'll get used everywhere. But first, it'll probably go into large training data centers," he said.
