It won't automatically switch plans. As you have discovered you can
"jigger" the plan in question so that it has the desired effect (I.e.
settings) when on battery.
To handle the case where you want full power (even when running on battery)
clone the profile you like, edit the profile you're currently running on.
When you switch to battery the default profile will cut everything back,
however you can quickly switch which profile you're using by clicking once
on the battery icon in the system tray (if it's not showing you can right
click on the system tray and select notification icons and have it shown)
and picking the profile to use (no need to go into control panel/power/yada
yada) - I.e. you'd pick your cloned profile.
Hope this helps.
