The complex scaling method permits calculations of few-body resonances with the correct asymptotic behaviour using a simple box boundary condition at a sufficiently large distance. This is also valid for systems involving more than one charged particle. We first apply the method on two-body systems. Three-body systems are then investigated by use of the (complex scaled) hyperspheric adiabatic expansion method. The case of the 2$^+$ resonance in $^6$Be and $^6$Li is considered. Radial wave functions are obtained showing the correct asymptotic behaviour at intermediate values of the hyperradii, where wave functions can be computed fully numerically.
