In Richard Lloyd's video about the SPIM08HP lipo cells, he tests them on his car to see if they can start it.

During the first few tests on a CCA meter, it showed a maximum of 350-400 amps (at minute 13:00). But after starting his car with the same battery for around 10 times, he tests it again on the CCA meter and gets 600-800 (20:00).
I do recall some thread saying that new batteries have a higher internal resistance than what their datasheet says, but after the first few cycles, it goes down to the rated IR number.
Is this true?
