YI Camera dropped files

I recorded a 4-hour'unlimited' $ session yesterday with my YI Camera, set to begin a new file every 4 gigs, as I understand most people do. I never turned the camera off, and had a power bank plugged into it the whole time.

Strangely, when I downloaded the files to my computer, 3 of the 11 files were missing, and they weren't sequential. Judging from the gaps in the file # sequence, it was the 2nd, 4th, and 6th files that went missing. So I have files 1,3,5,7-11. SO I have 6 fragmentary games in a 28-game session. Bummer.

The larger concern of course, is I don't know why this happened and I'm wondering if I can "trust" my camera for BMAB purposes. I'm thinking it's more likely a problem with the SD card being faulty, so maybe I just toss this one and use a new one?

Has anyone else had this problem?
