How about just selecting "Disable powermanagement" or "Energieverwaltung deaktivieren" available when clicking on laptop battery icon in systray? (Dunno how that would look on a desktop system).

An extra idea, search via qdbus, maybe under powerdevil or powermanagement or some such for a method to do what you want to achieve.
