Performance throttling on battery

How can I push my Librem to the max?

I could look into this, but there should be some way of configuring the same behavior on battery as on AC, without resorting to third-party packages.

Sorry, but you need third-party packages to fix your problem. No way to fix it without third-party packages, except if coreboot update can fix it.

msr-tools probably already installed on your system. Anyway, this is basic package, you could find it in your repository. But for unlocking power limit, you need devmem2 too. undervolt is optional, if you want to set custom thermal limit, and you need it only for generate msr register value.
