Don't trust the hydrometer green indicator, the last time my car using those kinda battery also shows green indicator but still the battery is weak. How long have u been using those batteries? If more than 1-1/2yr just go and change it.
If your alternator is not working, the telltale light on your dashboard with the battery sign will light up even after you have changed to a new battery when the engine is on. Recommended battery geee check your owners manual, sorry i can't remember DIN ?? for E36 cause me now driving E30 hihihihi. Naahh i dont think it will damage any electronic parts, its just low voltage supply. What car is urs?E36 318i?325i?328i?

your wire terminal clips at battery loose issit.....??? or your alternator grounding loose issit??? or...you battery flat liao.
the best diagnostic on battery power is like this...
Left hand pointers finger grounding( - )
Right hand pointer finger ( + )
grop a 12v bulbs in your mouth...do not swallow it.
wet both fingers and touch the terminals.....and mouth.
If you felt electrocuted and bright lights coming from ur mouth.....wala!!!! Good Power!!!
