We study the production of a light charged Higgs boson at the future Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC), through the process e−p→νeH−q considering both decay channels H−→bcˉ and H−→τνˉτ in the final state. We analyse these processes in the context of the 2-Higgs Doublet Model Type III (2HDM-III) and assess the LHeC sensitivity to such H− signals against a variety of both reducible and irreducible backgrounds. We confirm that prospects for H− detection in the 2HDM-III are excellent assuming standard collider energy and luminosity conditions.
