2016 GLE 350 new battery CCA low

I just recently replaced original battery at dealership. After connecting to CTEK charged to full, using battery tester I found out it only showed 663 CCA fully charged using type AGM flat plate. That doesn't sound right. The full capacity should be 900 CCA? Does the new battery have issues?

What meter did you use?
I bought new H8 battery at Costco and my Solar tester show 1600 CA on 1000 CA rated battery.
CCA applies to temperatures about 0F.
