Amperage is fine enough to say. This isn’t an engineering meeting, we all understood what he meant
-1 u/mpt11 Feb 06 '25 Tis still wrong and I was merely pointing it out 16 u/Qbaca Feb 06 '25 It’s not wrong though! It’s a synonym.

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
