The 15-digit certificate number is located on the vehicle certificate that comes with the car when it leaves the factory. When picking up the car, the owner can request the vehicle certificate from the 4S store staff and check the certificate number on it. However, the vehicle certificate needs to be submitted to the DMV for retention when the owner registers the new car for a license plate. More relevant information is as follows: Note 1: If the owner wants to check the vehicle certificate number after submitting it, they can consult the car dealer to see if the DMV where the vehicle is registered can provide the certificate number based on the engine number. Additionally, by comparing the engine number, they can verify whether the factory records of the car match the engine number on the vehicle registration certificate. Note 2: Besides the vehicle certificate, the 4S store should also provide the owner with other documents such as the car purchase invoice, vehicle user manual, and warranty service card. Otherwise, it may negatively impact the owner's license plate registration and maintenance after picking up the car, causing unnecessary trouble.

How long does it take to charge a car battery before starting the engine?

A typical car battery is 12V. When completely discharged, it takes about 8 to 10 hours to charge before the engine can be started. Most modern cars use battery-powered ignition systems, allowing the engine to start within 3 seconds. Precautions for charging car batteries: 1. Charging location: Generally, charging at home with 1/10 of the battery capacity (around 5A) is recommended for faster charging, usually taking 8-10 hours. 2. Battery type: Before charging, check the battery type. For water-filled batteries, ensure the electrolyte level is sufficient. For dry batteries, avoid using too high current as it may damage the battery. 3. Charging duration: Do not exceed 1/5 of the battery capacity current, especially for old batteries, and avoid prolonged charging. Calculate charging time based on capacity - for example, a 50A battery charged at 5A would require 10 hours.
