Most searches for BSM theories at the LHC focus on missing energy signatures. However, in some BSM theories other, more exotic, signatures occur. If a charged particle becomes long-lived on collider time scales - as it is the case in parts of the SUSY parameter space - it leads to a very distinct signature. We present the phenomenology of BSM theories with long-lived charged particles at the LHC and discuss their cosmological implications. Further, we present an extension of the computer package SModelS which allows us to test BSM theories utilizing the searches for long-lived charged particles in the framework of simplified models.
