I got my 32gb Sandisks from Costco. $29.95

I formatted them using Apple's Disk Utility.

I have had them for over a year and have never had to reformat them - ever. I view and backup my files daily. If nothing crucial is on them, I just get rid of the ,gps and .3gf files before backing up any interesting footage. I have three cards that I rotate. After I check and back up the files, I just trash the contents in the "record" folder. I then empty the trash and it's good to go.

The Micro SD cards are pretty sturdy. The adapter, not so much.

I also have the Blackvue hard wired and for some reason, since cleaning the sucker, it records a lot of video in parking mode. I guess I have to adjust the settings....... damn, have to use a PC for that, LOL.

Oh, as for battery running down, I've never encountered it. I disconnect the thing while parked in the garage, which is cool, 'cause I take the sd card out when going into the house.
