Battery died while garaged

You want to do two things after you charge the battery. Check your voltmeter with the car running and check that it's reading ~14.5V. Then, go get a load test

You want to do two things after you charge the battery. Check your voltmeter with the car running and check that it's reading ~14.5V. Then, go get a load test done on your battery. If this checks out ok, you have a current drain that needs correcting. Your battery shouldn't die after sitting for two months.

even 4-6months you should only have minimal loss…..
