    Search for dconf editor in Ubuntu Software or in GNOME Software, install, then open it.

    Go to /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power

    Scroll down to the bottom.

    sleep-inactive-battery-type is for shutdown when on battery and sleep-inactive-ac-type is for shutdown, when charging. Set the value to 'shutdown' for witch do you prefer.

    E. G. if you want to only shutdown, when on battery, only set the sleep-inactive-battery-type to 'shutdown'.

    sleep-inactive-battery-timeout is the (shutdown) timeout when on battery in seconds, and obviously sleep-inactive-ac-timeout is for the timeout when charging.

    After you made the changes click the check mark, close Dconf Editor, and now you're done!
