You might want to also consider this battery model in your system - they are 115 AH each and are warranted for 5 years: http://www.fullriverbattery.com/product/batteries/DC115-12
Thanks. That looks like a nice battery. Any idea the cost?

Regarding the squealing belt on your E350 while spinning it's alternator under load: There definitely must be a way to stop this. Our E450 has a 130 amp alternator and at times dumps over 70 amps (with the V10 idling) into our two paralled batteries of the type in my link above ... and there is no belt squeal.
Yes, the solution is NAPA's super-premium belt. I had the same problem with my last RV after I upgraded to a 130 amp alternator. The belt solved the problem.
The belt that is on the rig is of unknown vintage. One of the things on my list to fix.
Thanks
