Is there any point in paying more

Don't know - but they are excellent chargers at a good price.

But I was wondering what it means
if you get a flashing red light when a battery is inserted.
Does it mean that the battery is useless?

Yes.

I get it occasionally even with new batteries.

Same here. Lidl ones. ;-)
