The Shuffle is a new one on me.
I have heard of Cross Connection though. That is all points of the same voltage level are connected together. Say you have two pair of 6VDC golf cart batteries in your house bank wired series-parallel to make a 12VDC bank. The two pluses and the two minuses that go to the loads are already connected together, one would then connect the two jumpered (jumpered to put two 6VDC batteries into series to make 12VDC) terminals together (making three jumpers). The idea is to make all the batteries share the load more equally to behave like one big 12VDC battery.
