With the good 25C packs and the same draw you'll actually build some heat in the pack and the pack will perform better resulting in a better lap time for you.

And by heat I mean "more than ambient" NOT like 125 degrees!

As for the two batteries you mention specifically I couldn't tell you, ONLY because I have never used either of them.
thanks for the detailed information Adam, very much appreciated
