I'm almost 100% positive that cable came with this accessory: https://www.amazon.com/Pelican-Accessories-DS-Battery-Charger-Nintendo/dp/B0009SRZ7Y
I used to have this exact accessory (or something like it) and what you did was you plugged your DS charger into the battery pack charger, and it came with a male to male-cable-that connected from the battery pack charger to the DS so you could charge a battery in the dock and the internal one in the DS at the same time. The amazon customer reviews on this product are a bit vague, but they seem to echo this sentiment. If I recall it didn't work very well, but I haven't had the item since 2007 or 2008, so it's been a long time at this point.
EDIT
Someone is selling one on Facebook Marketplace: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/8211408898932475/
It has a picture of the back of the box showing that it came with the male-to-male cable for DS/GBA SP
