1. An electrified vehicle, comprising:
a battery; and
a controller configured to apply a restricted power mode when a state of health of the battery is below a predefined lower threshold, wherein, when in the restricted power mode, the controller is configured to limit an amount of power drawn from the battery, and wherein the controller is configured to selectively deactivate the restricted power mode in response to a signal indicating a current or imminent request for acceleration of the electrified vehicle requiring power to be drawn from the battery above an upper limit of the restricted power mode.
