Can't Get New Battery Cable

So, the nest through which the battery cable connects to motherboard on my laptop burned, and both of them need replacements. I was able to find plenty of whole new batteries for my model to buy, but none of them have the connective cables attached, and, obviously, I can't reuse the old one. The battery cables themselves are nowhere to be found. Am I looking things up at wrong places? Like, I can't believe that such a basic detail is so rare. Again, plenty of batteries, but no cables for some reason, why?

Edit: Shit, I should've specified that I did find a used cable through a repair shop, and did not need any help with that. My question was about why aren't there any new ones available for my model while there are plenty of new cable-less batteries which is why I tagged this post "discussion" and not "help". Its just that I found this difference weird and thought that there might be some interesting reason. Thank you for all your suggestions, but most of the places you've linked aside from a single ebay listing with used cables either have them out of stock, or not for the model I've listed in the comments, so my question still stands.

Hi everyone,

I've been opening my laptop to fix hinges and noticed this. The battery port looks like it burned so bad it melted on the edges.

The laptop is working perfectly fine, and its battery life is long enough. I haven't noticed anything weird about it untill I've literally opened it. Is this a cause for concern? Was I doing something wrong to it to cause this?
