I'm not familiar with what voltage that battery is... *googles*
3.7v you should be fine. Give it short bursts, maybe a small resistor in the dummy...
Although this may be a little high. I'm not responsible if this screws your laser BTW... someone more experienced might like to answer.

10440 is a AAA sized 3.6 Lithium rechargeable. Since when fully charge it can go up to 4.2v so i am not sure about this but as u suggested a diode should help. Anyway i tried a Rechargeable 3.0v CR123, it actually works quite nicely which replaced 2xAA Alkaline but with better lithium regulation. Now my DX 30mw can hold its full power as long as i dare to push the button which previously not possible without the infamous dimming after few seconds.

See the link below and decide for yourself. 10440 battery starts at around 4.2V but will drop under load to under 4. YMMV
