Windows 10: Why do my FPS drops when i'm not charging my laptop?

I'm playing some small video games with my Acer A514-51G-57X0. The problem is my fps when playing video games is really good when I'm charging. When I'm not, the performance is really bad. Even when I'm not playing video games, my performance is worse when I'm not charging my laptop. I do not activate the battery saver but my fps is still bad.

what is the model of your laptop. What graphic drivers do you have installed? Can you list a game or two where you measured the FPS drop?
