The power category in GNOME Tweaks only show a "suspend when laptop lid is closed". However, there is no distinction between whether the laptop is plugged (for instance to a docking station or a charger) or operating on battery power.

In my case, I would like my laptop to suspend when closing the lid on battery power, but leave it when plugged to its charger. Is there a way to achieve that?

You can set this using dconf-editor.

Install it: 

sudo apt-get install dconf-editor

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

You will be able to choose separate actions for lid-close-ac-action and lid-close-battery-action
