The present disclosure pertains to various embodiments of battery systems and related methods that may operate in a preconditioning mode based upon a predicted disturbance of service of an electrical utility. Such systems may include a battery configured to store electrical energy. A communication module may be configured to receive an indication of a predicted disturbance of an electrical utility. A battery management system may operate the battery system in a normal mode to maintain a state of charge (SOC) of the battery system within a normal mode SOC range. Upon receipt of an indication of the predicted disturbance from the communication module, the battery system may be transitioned to a preconditioning mode. The state of charge may be maintained within a preconditioning mode SOC range that exceeds the normal SOC range. The battery system may provide electrical energy during an actual disturbance affecting the electrical utility.
