  We perform a comprehensive global analysis in the Minimal Supersymmetric
Standard Model (MSSM) as well as in the 2-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) of the
production and decay mechanisms of charged Higgs bosons $(H^\pm)$ at the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC). Starting from the most recent experimental results
(SM-like Higgs boson signal strengths and search limits for new Higgs boson
states obtained at Run-1 and -2 of the LHC and previous colliders), from (both
direct and indirect) searches for Supersymmetric particles as well as from
flavor observables (from both $e^+e^-$ factories and hadron colliders) and upon
enforcing theoretical constraints (vacuum stability, perturbativity,
unitarity), we present precise predictions for $H^\pm$ cross sections and decay
rates in different reference scenarios of the two aforementioned models in
terms of the parameter space currently available, specifically mapped over the
customary $(m_{A,H^\pm}, \tan\beta)$ planes, including singling out specific
Benchmark Points (BPs) amenable to phenomenological investigation. These
include the $m_{h}^{{\rm mo}d+}$ and hMSSM configurations of the MSSM and the
2HDM Type-I, -II, -X and -Y. Such BPs are always close to (or coinciding with)
the best fits of the theoretical scenarios to experimental data. We also
briefly discuss the ensuing phenomenology for the purpose of aiding future
searches for such charged Higgs boson states.
