Conor Coventry's first goal for Charlton was enough to see off 10-man Burton and give the visitors a first win in six games.
Coventry finally broke the Brewers' resistance with eight minutes to go, firing home the loose ball after Max Crocombe had saved twice with Albion under pressure after the sending-off of midfielder Charlie Webster.
A lacklustre first half saw Charlton have the better of the chances but lack a serious cutting edge in the final third.

Miles Leaburn had two opportunities, one of which forced Crocombe into a comfortable save and Karoy Anderson also managed to send an attempt on target without seriously troubling the Burton stopper.
The home side looked threatening when they could get midfielder Webster into advanced areas, but it was Tomas Kalinauskas who went close for Albion early in the second half with a low shot that Ashley Maynard-Brewer had to get down well to save.
Webster saw red for his reaction to being hauled down by Terry Taylor leaving the Brewers with an uphill task, with Burton unable to hold on for a point.
