The engagement surface comprises one or more electrical contacts for engaging with one or more electrical contacts of the refill reservoir when installed in the refill reservoir port. The engagement surface and refill reservoir port are configured to allow relative movement of the engagement surface towards the refill reservoir when installed in the refill reservoir port such that the one or more electrical contacts of the engagement surface are pressed into contact with corresponding one or more electrical contacts of the refill reservoir. Also provided is a refill reservoir for use with a refilling unit, a refilling system for refilling a refillable article, and a method for obtaining information from a refill reservoir for use in refilling a refillable article with aerosol-generating material using a refilling unit.
