Default Battery died in 6 months?

Well the battery on my 2014 IS350 just died and got my insurance to jump start it.
All I did was left the car parked in my garage for 3 days and this happen......

In case of this happening to me again I'm looking for a jump starter to buy.
How much of "Cold Cranking Amps" do I need to buy from a jump starter for the 2014 IS350's battery?

I just bought a black decker jump starter from home depot with 1000 peak amps and 500 instant cranking amps. It didn't state the cold cranking amps. Is this jump starter good enough?

Mine died after 3 weeks. left it in the driveway for 3 days when i went on vacation. Lexus roadside jumped it, started, then when turned off wouldnt start again. They ended up replacing the battery saying a cell may have died. idk what the issue was. just glad it was covered.
