Abstract: A system for wirelessly charging an illuminated tap handle includes a tap handle and a wireless power unit. The tap handle includes a receiver coupling device, at least one light-emitting diode (LED) light, a transparent body, handle attachment, a handle chipset, and a personal-area network module. The handle attachment attaches the tap handle to existing beer tower opposite of the transparent body so that the existing beer tower can be operated through the tap handle. The transparent body is illuminated by the LED light that is communicably coupled to the handle chipset along with the personal-area network module. A transmitter coupling device of the wireless power unit communicably coupled with the receiver coupling device so that the handle chipset, the LED light, and the personal-area network module can be electrically powered as the transmitter coupling device is electrically connected to an external electrical outlet.
