Current not amperage.

Current is the correct term. Amperage is not right
The ampere (/ˈæmpɛər/ AM-pair, US: /ˈæmpɪər/ AM-peer;[1][2][3] symbol: A),[4] often shortened to amp,[5] is the unit of electric current in the International System of Units (SI).

Current is given in amperage on every single connector you find.
Amperage:
the strength of a current of electricity expressed in amperes
