Well the one you linked is a boost drive and will only work if the voltage drop of the diode is higher than your input voltage.

I've been wanting to try this one:
660nm red laser diode driver (HTV Inferno 2.11) | eBay
It is a true buck not linear so it is very efficient, and it has low battery indicator! Just know that I haven't tested it yet (or anyone else as far as I know).

Only remember that the driver is NOT current regulated ..... it's a voltage regulated driver.
