Interesting question. He reports:
When our club’s plans for FD fell through at the last minute I set up 1B with
my trusty KX-2 with a Bioenno battery and two internal KX2 battery pacs on my
back porch. Got a Par 40-20-10 end-fed up about 40’ in a north-south
orientation only to find band conditions here were pretty bad here in the north
with QRN, QSB and faint signals at best.
It sounds like he was not depending on any of the home station
infrastructure e.g. antennas, so I think that he was in class
1B, one or two person portable or even perhaps 1Bb if he was
battery QRP. YMMV.
But see also: 6.9. Batteries may be charged while in use. Except
for Class D stations, the batteries must be charged from a power
source other than commercial power mains. To claim the power
multiplier of five, the batteries must be charged from something
other than a motor driven generator or commercial mains.

FWIW, that puts you in 1E, not 1B.
