We construct explicitly the even and odd charge coherent states, prove thei
r completeness and explore their generation. The D-algebra realization of t
he SU(1,1) generators on them is given. Non-classical properties of the two
kinds of states are studied and it is shown that both of them have SU(1,1)
squeezing and two-mode antibunching, but no single and two-mode squeezing.
