I don't know about your B6200, but my B7100 has a nominal 10A alternator -- actual is listed at 8.5A @14v / 4250rpm. It doesn't even begin to charge the battery until 1800 rpm.
Having looked at the wiring on my 2016 B2301 I would not use any of the factory lines, they are very small gauge wire and the protection is OK but not great.
I would added an additional fuse board and then power everything from that. You can direct feed it from the battery or relay feed it if you prefer.
I looked at using the rear pre wired out feed for LED lights but in the end ran a complete loom with relays and fuses, that way I can test and troubleshoot if needed. I did the same with the relays to control my rotator and chute.
I do use the cigar lighter outlet for my LED beacon.

I noticed the same problem with the factory accessory wires and the lack of space in the factory fuse panel to accommodate additional circuits. So I decided to install an auxiliary fuse panel under the hood that receives power only when the ignition is on. From there, I can pick the appropriate gauge wire and fuse to power the accessory at issue.

@Charlie Foxtrot - where did you get the switched power to run to the new fuse panel? Did you splice into a wire on the ignition switch? I'm looking for a source of power for a very low amperage feed to a video camera and monitor I want to mount (so I can see the front edge of my FEL bucket) and my L3400 doesn't have any aux power outlet, cigarette lighter, empty fuse slot with power, or anything else available. I want switched power so I don't accidentally leave the video turned on and run the battery down.
Thanks.
