One of them will probably discharge faster than the other. You can try it but keep an eye on individual voltages (check every couple of minutes). Or hook up a lipo alarm on each pack.

You really should only run matched batteries when doubling up. And as mentioned, a LiPo alarm will be best on each pack.

not advisable to do as the lower C bat will discharge faster than Higher C

You will shorten your run because of the lower C rating battery. Not advisable as others have mentioned.
