Sounds like your alternator belt slipping. When the belt is relatively
cold - not warmed from the friction of movement - it shrinks a bit and will
not seat snuggly in the pulleys. The load on the alternator due to a
partially drained battery is probably sufficient enough to cause the cool -
relatively - belt to slip, thus causing the screech you hear.
