SD memory card question

I'm dealing with another head scratcher so I'm turning to the PPOT brain trust for it's wisdom.

I received a game camera as a gift and set it up a few days ago. It went through 8 AA batteries overnight. The camera is made in China and the instruction book looks like it was translated from Chinese by an 8 year old Rumanian, so it's not much help.

Googling the camera came up with this:
"Use the specified Class 10 SD card or it will run your batteries down quickly."
So I figure that's the problem. Nope - turns out the card in the camera IS a Class 10
But the instruction book that came with the camera calls for a Class 8 card. The only Class 8 cards I can find are micro SD and the slot in the camera is for a full sized SD.
So my questions are:

1. Why should the wrong SD card run batteries down?

2. Will a micro SD in a full size adapter function the same as a full sized SD?
