LATEST DEVELOPMENT:

Being obsessed by the problem i opened the terrminals and found something. One of the fuse on positive terminal "ALT" was blown and some one had bypassed it on "Main" by connection of wire loop (2 to 3mm2). Is this can be the problem? I suspect ALT is alternator amps.

MAIN is the main feed from the battery to the car and ALT is the feed from the alternator to the battery. It is unlikely that that bypass is the issue, as they both go directly to the battery terminal, but I would replace it for safety's sake.
