Late strikes from Tyreeq Bakinson and Alfie May earned Charlton a 3-1 League One win at Cheltenham to ease their relegation fears.
The improving Addicks took a first-half lead through Daniel Kanu before Liam Sercombe's 70th-minute leveller set up a tense finish.
But the late double lifted Nathan Jones' side seven points clear of their hosts and the drop zone.
It took 19 minutes for them to break the deadlock, with Conor Coventry releasing Tennai Watson on the right and his low ball was turned in by Kanu for his 10th of the season.
May was denied by Liam Kinsella's block in the box and Luke Southwood blocked another May effort, but the rebound was skewed wide in the 33rd minute.
